Q: culture negative for herpes but have sores, valtrex worked but reappeared in 2 weeks

I have been in a monogamous relationship for 12 yrs.  Recently sores appeared on my vaginal area.  I had a culture done and it was negative but they want to do blood test.  The valtrex helped after 5 days and I quit taking the meds.  Now 2 weeks after inital sores, they have reappeared.  Am I having another outbreak or it is a new outbreak.  I am taking valtrex again and am afraid to stop taking it once the sores go away.

I read that I have symptoms of syphillis, should I get tested for that, what is the difference in the sores?
