Q: ulcer looking things on vagina Tests Have Come Back Negative

Question: I had a one night stand on 07-31 unprotected sex. About 5 days later started having very irritated vagina and fullness/heaviness feeling there. I saw a little red sore on the inner part of my opening. Not painful though. Went to the dr. exactly one week after the sex and got checked out for gonnarhea, chlymidia, from a swab, blood test for HIV and hepatitis. It all came back negative. A few days later I had extreme irritation like ingrown hairs on my vagina, the (genital lips) I noticed flat barely noticable ulcer looking sores about 3 around the opening to my vagina. I called the dr again and had her look. She said I look normal. She did a blood test for herpes and it came back negative for both herpes 1&2. This blood test was taken 3 weeks after the unprotected sex. I still have the ulcer looking things and major discomfort. I think it is affecting my anus too. It feels like hemmoroids. I don't know if any of the test results would have been different if I waited. I need advice.

A blood test would only come up positive if it were at least 12 weeks after infection. It tests for antibodies in your system, it's unusual that your doctor would do that knowing that you'd come up negative as not enough time has passed. Did she do a swab test? This is more accurate, that is if done when symptoms first present themselves.
