sore, swollen vagina, blisters burning around my bumb hole..

I think you're doing MORE harm than good to your body by trying out a bunch of things without checking with your doctor first. I know it's expensive, but if the problem is bad enough that you're already willing to try ANYTHING to get rid of it, you would be MUCH better off seeing a doctor first . I wouldn't advise putting ANYthing else on or in your vagina without consulting your doctor FIRST.

For the herpes test...there are two types really , 1 that should be taken if u suspect you got it recently the virus produces some kinda thing a think it's antibodies and another 1 that after the body gets use to the virus it produces another type of antibody. So u have to ensure you take the correct one or both to know for sure.
