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.

There are two types of HSV, HSV type 1 and 2, and both can cause genital herpes.
