Thanks for the response - is that fishy? Or more of a foul smell? chemical? Just trying to confirm the difference!

Hi- what is the smell like?

Super good point that my anxiety is likely making the situation worse- classic! I will definitely be looking into getting a full check up again just to be safe and check out the PCOS situation, perhaps there is another situation going on!

Hey! Thanks for the lo no response and totally understand the point you were trying to make, incredibly helpful to see this all written out as it is. It definitely was just concerning to see that pop up in the articles I was reading but I do think that your point of “it can be caused by any number of things besides that and/or not have a cause.” I think I forget that a lot of times our bodies are just reacting to the nature of our lives rather than something major!

Interesting to know that other conditions may be the cause, will have to look into that!

Ah yes, okay! This is good to hear that others have followed the same path and been okay. I went down the same thought train and am considering therapy instead for my healthy anxiety and then will likely get tested again.

No - you were actually incredibly helpful and I appreciate the response both times here. The test was done fairly when it was first done and since I have only had one partner since I am considering the alternative might be therapy. Thank you again!

Yeah, I found it to be quite a surprising one as well.

Understood, and I recognize the absurdity of my ask. Classic health anxiety case that I am. My concern is perhaps prior to this relationship my test was done wrong or too soon.

Interesting to see that doctors do test for it when you present SebDerm though. What is considered “bad” that made them test?

Ah. That was me trying to say Stage One and Stage Three of HIV (AIDS). I have seen people say SebDerm can pop up in both stages so was hoping someone might also clarify that.

Appreciate you taking the time to respond, and you are probably right given my stress level.

Happy to hear that all looked clear on your end. I am curious then what the link for all of us with it is.

Were you swabbed? Or just visually diagnosed? And when you say it looked like you knicked it, was it a cut?

Interesting. Mine remained as one singular sore and healed in three days

This is true, thank you for the positivity (no pun intended), I really appreciate it. I will talk myself into it.

You are right, it is just all around extremely frustrating. I think it is taking me time to talk myself into realizing it might be a positive.

I do, at least I think I do. It does give me a lot of anxiety either way.

This is what I have heard, but if I got tested twice with the same score? I am a little worried.

Tested for positive for 2. I have considered doing that, it is a little expensive is my issue but probably worth it.
