A member asked:

Had genital sores last week and swab results negative for herpes. they are healing but now i have tingling in leg and sore bum on same side as sores?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Bloodwork?: Herpes cultures will only be positive about 60% of the time, even with active disease. Having bloodwork to look for antibodies to the herpes virus can help confirm the diagnosis.
