I had a possible scare in the beginning of December. I just had blood work done for all std's in the beginning of February. The tests were negative. Is this enough time to determine if I have herpes? Or any other STDS??

you don't have to do it again, you're probably negative. there's always a chance it was a false negative though, so if it'll ease your mind, go get it done again!
well, HIV has a 6 month window sometimes, so that might not show up, just an add on there for you.

If you have herpes there is NO CURE by the way. It is a virus and there is no cure for viruses. Viruses like the flu and chicken pox have Vaccines but no cure. remember when you were a kid. Did you get chicken pox? And what happened? You had to have bumps all over your body and wait for the infection to subside (but chicken pox becomes latent and can come back later as shingles.)
My point is that you should keep looking for sores on your body if you think you have been exposed to herpes. And wait 6 months and go back to the dr and be Retested (sooner if you see red sores).
Once you are diagnosed though the only thing you can do is prevent spreading it to other people can take valtrex pills to surpress the virus (but NOT cure it).

My best friend has had genital herpes for about eight months now, and it's been really rough. She's had about 7 outbreaks. Everywhere I read it says it stops flaring up so much after time, but its not getting less frequent for her. She's been on Antiviral meds the whole time, too. She also has type 1 diabetes which she has had her whole life, which really weakens her immune system. Will it ever get better?
But after a friend share this video everything has changed.

Yeah, you're in the clear for herpes and everything else besides for HIV. HIV has a 3 month window of detection. Go back to the doctor in March.
