Whether or not you have genital herpes it would not account for the discharge. Discharges are almost invariably a sign of infection and this is why you will have been put on antibiotics. By the sounds of things you need a top-up or at least a revision of the meds you were put on.

That's what I'm thinking, based on what you've said about your treatment to date. Do you have a particular reason for thinking you may have genital herpes? If this concerns you I think you should ask for an evaluation.

well i recently found out that i have herpes and chlamydia in my eyes...it was about the same time that i was having problems with the discharge and itchy feeling. i thought maybe i could accdentally touched my eyes when i was checking myself down there too see if everything was ok. i took the swab test but that came out negative for herpes. i dont know maybe the test is not that accurate but i have been tested for eveything esle, like Chlamydia, Syphilis and gonorrhea and they all came out negative. the only thing that i'm thinking it could be is herpes.
