Diagnosing herpes: STDs, including herpes, sometimes can trigger BV -- maybe you misunderstood and she was only saying herpes is a possibility. If she has made a definite diagnosis, most likely you had a herpes lab test, either a blood test for HSV antibody or culture or PCR test for the virus itself. Discuss with the NP; happy to answer a repeat question with more detail.
