I saw an obgyn for the first time today. I told her that I have itching in my vaginal area every once and a while and she told me that it could be due to the dryness of the cold weather, or a yeast infection. However, when she examined me she said that I could possibly have herpes so she prescribed a weeks worth of Valtrex, gave me two sample tablets, and told me to get my Bloodwork done to test for herpes. Then she told me to come back in two to three weeks (I made an appointment for March 1).
However, after I got home I was wondering why she gave me the medication before having the blood test. Should I wait for the blood test results before taking the medication??
I ask this because I've never been sexually active before my current boyfriend, he claims that he doesn't have herpes, we always use condoms, and I think that I had this itching before I was with him.
