I'm curious to know too as I had a similar breakout. Yet all my STI results came back negative. So please keep me posted.

Bicarbonate of soda, helps (even though it stings a lot) but usually prevents the outbreaks if applied when you start getting a tingling sensation and also dries out the wound quicker. Outbreaks tend to be around my period.

Do you have an outbreak when you went to get the test done?

Only asking as unless you have an outbreak and specifically ask for a herpes test, it is not tested for in standard sti tests. You'd think it would be but no unless you have physical symptoms at the time or ask for a blood antibody test they won't check for it.

It might be vaginal shingles if you ever had chicken pox before . If you feel nerve pain and the each you describe it.
