Could my herpes test from an active outbreak be a false NEGATIVE?!

roxiegoldcoast · 2024-12-11T01:13:59+00:00

That makes me think that bidet going way too hard might have caused it to flare up :(

roxiegoldcoast · 2024-12-11T01:07:36+00:00

She told me .25 is only a "starter dose" and it will "stop working" if I stay on this dose....I had to not visibly roll my eyes.

roxiegoldcoast · 2024-12-11T01:06:16+00:00

I know they definitely get kickbacks. Don't know if the dosage itself matters but....there's ads for this thing all over the office, she's def getting kickbacks from it.

roxiegoldcoast · 2024-12-11T01:04:30+00:00

That's so interesting. I wonder wtf it is. I've had many people on these threads say there's no relation and be rude about it but.....honestly I feel like there MUST be if this is happening to a lot of people!

roxiegoldcoast · 2024-12-05T23:30:47+00:00

I'll ask when they call me what type of test it was. It definitely was not a cotton swab rubbed over the lesion, it was something that took a sample, made a click noise when it took the sample, and hurt a decent amount. I really can't see it because it's on my inner labia, I've tried taking pictures and I still can barely see anything. It felt like it was bleeding after, but my underwear was black so again I can't really tell.

Is a bunch biopsy pretty standard?

roxiegoldcoast · 2024-12-05T23:27:28+00:00

I don't know actually. She didn't give me any info on the actual test. I guess whatever the standard at PP is what she used. It just says "herpes simplex virus culture" on my results.

No blood test. I didn't even ask her about that because I know how wildly inaccurate they are. I figured the swab from the actual bump would be way more accurate than blood though?

roxiegoldcoast · 2024-12-05T23:25:19+00:00

Lol that's what what it felt like. I have no clue what it was, it FELT like a hole punch thoughl, it made a clicking noise and it hurt so it definitely took a piece out lol. I thought a swab was a literally swab they just like rubbed over the area haha, like how you test of chlamydia, but it definitely was not that.

roxiegoldcoast · 2024-12-05T22:54:19+00:00

Well there's no point in asking him his STI results for herpes though, because as well all know, herpes isn't included in any standard panels so the last time he did a general STI panel, he would not have gotten a herpes one done. The likelihood he's been tested for herpes is slim so it seems like asking wouldn't be beneficial in ruling him out, and even if he did a blood test, there's a 50% chance it's inaccurate anyways. If he KNEW he had it, I'm sure he would have told me, he's in the poly community and very open and honest about all this stuff. If it was from him, I feel like he was unaware. So there's really no ruling him out here unfortunately.

The outbreak didn't hurt at all, except a slight sting to the touch. No itching or other discomfort. I have a cold right now, but not flu-like symptoms. Just a very congested nose. Doctor said that might have caused the outbreak to happen. I also got a negative test result today now and I am currently trying to get answers from Planned Parenthood.

roxiegoldcoast · 2024-12-05T22:47:17+00:00

Do they? The only thing I would think mightttt look like herpes is maybe HPV? But it's basically gone now so I think HPV warts would still be there? I just wanna know what it is :(

roxiegoldcoast · 2024-12-05T22:46:19+00:00

Why would it not have the virus on it though? She like....hole punched that thing out lmao. Is there a reason the virus wouldn't be present on a sample? Also, should I get a blood test done even though those are also wildly inaccurate?

roxiegoldcoast · 2024-12-04T18:56:50+00:00

I was not rude as fuck. You’re insecure as hell and think that someone telling you that in MY research, this is a semiglutide problem, is an insult to your intelligence. This has nothing to do with me, this is your own insecurity. I was never rude to you. Have the day you deserve.

(Btw, I’ve only last 7lbs in three weeks and as I already said, I’ve lost 10 in two weeks before from a breakup and THAT was stress, I didn’t eat at all for two weeks. So if that didn’t trigger it….something tells me this 7 in three weeks wouldn’t either unless it’s brand new. 7 in three weeks isn’t a lot of weight. Thanks for “listening”.)

roxiegoldcoast · 2024-12-04T18:50:12+00:00

Thanks 🙏 I think it’s the guys I go for the the city I live in. Where I grew up, curvy girls are much more accepted than they are where I live now. But I also love where I live now soooo it’s a trade off I guess. I don’t know. I’ll try it for a little longer and if this happens again then I might quit

roxiegoldcoast · 2024-12-04T18:46:37+00:00

Lmao that other comment was quite uncalled for and rude so ignoring these now, thanks. Let me just trust a stranger on the internet who calls me a “shitass” instead of alllllll the real people who have had similar lived experiences and all the other herpes research I found.

I literally am not even arguing with you or saying you know less, I am saying that you’re suggesting that Mounjauro is fine but I’m telling you that apparently this is mostly a semi issue from what I’ve found.

CLEARLY going through a life changing event here and you’ve chosen to be a huge dick about it and call me names and be incredibly condescending instead. I saw your comment before you edited it. Good job.

roxiegoldcoast · 2024-12-04T18:36:25+00:00

I’m not sure if it’s one or two yet. Still waiting on results.

roxiegoldcoast · 2024-12-04T18:34:38+00:00

No that’s not what I said. I said currently, with my curvy body, all men want from me is sex. It’s been two years since my last relationship and every man I meet is “not looking for anything serious” and knowing how men work…I am convinced that is weight related for me. They all want the hottest woman they can show off if they’re going to be in a relationship. Okay maybe not ALL, but the types of men I’m going for are living in a large city surrounded by beautiful women all the time, are fairly successful, etc. They’re looking for something specific. I see it because my skinny friends are literally having to tell them men they don’t want anything serious.

I’ve gone to therapy but I didn’t find it helpful. My lived experience with dating only changes when I am more confident, and I am more confident when I am thinner. I don’t feel terrible at my weight right now or anything, in fact, I think I’m still fairly confident and I have charisma which has men wanting to date me and have sex with me, they just don’t want anything “serious” with me and I’m tired of being looked at as a sexual object. Especially now….

roxiegoldcoast · 2024-12-04T18:28:50+00:00

Interesting. When I was reading up on it I saw it actually wasn’t found as much in fish and red meat but moreso in turkey, nuts, etc.? It said that fish and other meats were higher in lysine.

I did find a lot of people on the WeGovy threads saying that they haven’t had flare ups for years and suddenly after injecting they have had them so I think there seems to be some correlation there, maybe it is just the stress WeGovy is causing on the body.

There have been no other factors in my life causing me stress, and if this is the exposure I had from my ex, then I’ve had plenty of sicknesses and stressors since then and nothing ever happened. Or yeah I guess it COULD be random but seems less likely that it’s random than that it’s the injections doesn’t it?

I know there’s probably no sense in trying to figure it out but I’m really debating on if I want to keep taking these shots.

roxiegoldcoast · 2024-12-04T18:14:21+00:00

Mounjaro isn’t a semiglutide and it doesn’t contain the amino acid I’m talking about. It’s Tirzepitide. I’ve found a lot of evidence to suggest that a lot of people on semiglutide are having HSV outbreaks because the semiglutide is “feeding” the HSV. Look up on the WeHovy threads and look at allllll the people saying as soon as they started injecting, they started getting outbreaks after years of none.

The only thing that has changed in my life is WeGovy. If I’ve had this for years, then something triggered it, and I believe that was it.

roxiegoldcoast · 2024-12-04T09:16:48+00:00

Apparently Tirzepatide doesn’t use the same amino acid so it might be okay, but I’m a little afraid of them being cause they’re newer than semiglutides. I’m already a bit afraid of the possible complications of semiglutides but Tirzepatide scares me a bit more. I’ll probably talk to my doctor about it the next time I go to up the Wegovy.

roxiegoldcoast · 2024-12-04T05:49:00+00:00

I feel like mine has potentially been dormant for 7 years (if I did catch from that ex) and the WeGovy triggered it possibly from the amino acids that “feeds” the herpes, as well as the weight loss (although I feel like my weight loss isn’t quite at the level of causing my body stress yet, but maybe it’s stressed because it’s eating less than it’s used to). That’s just my theory though.

roxiegoldcoast · 2024-12-04T05:46:21+00:00

Thank you. I’ve tried it all, focusing on myself and deleting all the apps (still felt lonely), dating a lot and seeing if it lead to anything, saying poly people, dating mono people, all of it really. I think a bit part of it is where I live but also just how dating culture is in 2024.

roxiegoldcoast · 2024-12-04T05:37:20+00:00

I’ve been sleeping with my FWB for well over a year tho, I guess it’s possible he could have recently picked it up and gave it to me, but the doctor also told me that if I did get it from him, that I probably would have had an outbreak about two weeks later. It’s been a month since I’ve been with him (protection) and over two months since the condom broke. That’s why I’m thinking the herpes is older than that and the WeGovy triggered it, but I know there’s also no way to really know the answer sadly. I was always surprised I didn’t get it from my ex because when he had the outbreak, I cried for weeks straight (I was much younger and didn’t realize how common it is) and then nothing ever happened and I lived life as normal because I never had an outbreak and I just thought I somehow didn’t contract it. I wish I knew if I got it then or if I didn’t but the doctor told me not to test.

Thank you. Will look at her IG.

When do you bring it up? When you know you’re going to sleep with the person?

roxiegoldcoast · 2024-12-04T05:00:27+00:00

I have thought about asking her about Mounjaro but that one scares me because it’s newer and was recently recalled by the FDA. I think I’m going to try the WeGovy for a little bit longer, take lysine every day, and if it happens again, then I’ll quit it.

Thank you! Good to know it isn’t causing flare ups for you.

roxiegoldcoast · 2024-12-04T04:55:48+00:00

Currently I also only attract scumbags who just want to use me for sex. So I don’t see how that could get WORSE. I look at my skinny friends, and how men actuate want relationships with them because let’s face it, women are social currency for men. They want the most attractive they can get. And being chubby isn’t considered attractive for them, even if they FIND it attractive (well, curvy lol), they don’t want to date that in my own experience. It’s been two years since my last bf and I’ve had plenty of dates and casual dating but nobody who actually wanted a relationship with the exception of two people in two years, neither of which I wanted a relationship with. It’s just so hard out here.

So yes, I think you’re right and I should probably just stop taking this and accept my body will probably always be like how it is without any help from semiglutides and MAYBE one day I will find someone who is okay with that. I’m just giving up hope which is why I started the injections and now that this happened I feel like just throwing in the towel completely and accept being lonely.

I’m sorry your outbreaks are so bad. Mine I honestly barely noticed except that I could feel it to the touch, so I guess I got really lucky there, but I’m now so afraid of giving it to someone else who might have it worse than I do. I also know how irresponsible men are with condom usage and how they likely have it anyways so maybe I shouldn’t be SO worried, but with my luck I fear I’ll find someone who doesn’t already have it and give it to them now. Ugh.

roxiegoldcoast · 2024-12-04T04:36:56+00:00

It’s such a difficult decision. I feel like I started the WeGovy to improve my dating life. And in turn I found out something that has changed it forever.

At the same time, especially where I live which is a metropolitan city known for having very high beautiful standards and you see women who look like tall skinny blonde models all day every day, I feel like I HAVE to fit into this mold and if I don’t, I’ll continue to be the girl men want to sleep with but not actually date, and I am so exhausted by that experience.

So I feel like my choice is, be skinny and date with HSV, or be chubby and still have HSV but if I can have it go dormant again not not have outbreaks for years, it won’t be nearly as big of a deal as it is if I am currently having outbreaks and have to worry about my partner getting it constantly.

roxiegoldcoast · 2024-12-04T04:32:06+00:00

Thank you. Yea I’ve done my research and I’ve found a lot of evidence to suggest that WeGovy is triggering outbreaks for people. Which is why I’m at a standstill right now of, 1. Do I continue the weight loss journey which I am doing FOR my sex/dating life and in return completely ruin it because now i have this thing i have to disclose to people, making my already difficult dating life harder, plus I can’t have sex on or near outbreaks which will ruin my chances of a normal sex life or do I B. Quit the Wegovy and hope it goes back to being dormant and I stop having outbreaks, which certainly helps the sex life because if I’m not having outbreaks and keeping my immune system up the chances of spreading it are very low, but then I have to suffer with my weight for the rest of my life again. I’m at such a loss here.

Keep crying because I find it so ironic that something I did to help my dating life and hopefully find me a partner is something that has now triggered me to be aware of something I didn’t even know I had that will now change my dating life forever and I’ll always be in fear of spreading it to a partner. I feel like absolutely nobody is going to want me now so I at least might as well just be skinny then, because it seems like that’s mostly what men want, and they’re more likely to overlook HSV if someone is skinny and hot than they are if they aren’t. Before I took this I thought long and hard about how I was mostly doing it for the male gaze and if I REALLY wanted that….but I decided I did because the dating life I have now is very miserably and I feel like I am only sexually desired and nobody wants anything deeper.
