Hi Lisa,   My name is Camilo and I am a monitor of the new Q&A section. I must first tell you that I am not a certified healthcare practitioner, and thus you should consult a physician before adopting any advice or knowledge into practice. The only way to truly know whether or not you have an STD is to seek medical consel and be tested for STDs. There are a variety of tests available for different types of STDs and your physician will know which are most appropriate for your situation. I suggest that you consult the following pages on our site to become more informed on the types of testing available for Herpes simplex virus -- Serum herpes simplex antibodies test. Also, you should read Dr. Grayson's artilce: What are the Symptoms of Herpes and When Should You Expect Them. I hope this was helpful, please continue to post with any other questions you may have.   CAM.
