I have been married fo 12 years and my husband has never had an "outbreak". I was starting to wonder if I had been misdiagnosed.13 years ago I had 2 small cuts on my vagina. It burned during urination. My gyn at the time said it was herpes even though the culture was negative. I have seen pictures of herpes cases and I experience no blisters or scabs. This has happened to me about 8 times over the years and I took valtrax for a few days and I would be fine. I have a skin condition that has been called keratosis pilaris . Latley I have been experiencing a wide aray of new symptoms headaches, calf tightness, frequent sinus infections,joint pain and other muscle pain, fatigue...Help. Crying or Very sad

your story is very similar to mine except that im not married. i am with a differnt partner than i was a year ago, that's when i was diagnosed. my current partner shows no symptoms but has not been to a doctor's to check if he is positive. my culture test was neg. but i went back for the second time and it came back positive. i take valtrex every now and then and some times i think i have misdiagnosed because i do not have the cauliflower outbreak as some pictures show, i just get a lot of itching and redness and bleeding if i dont treat it for a few days. i would go back and get some more bloodwork done. i wish there was a cure for this. goodluck
