Your thoughs?!
Answers:
90% of those with herpes do not know it. This is because it often is thought to be another condition such as a yeast infection. It took me 17 years to discover that my yeast infections were actually herpes outbreaks.
It is also very common for herpes to be associated with yeast or bacterial infections. The infection can cause the outbreaks and vice versa. So it is possible that you did have a yeast infection, but you may also have herpes.
As Josh said, a lot of doctors are idiots! You need to be your own advocate and find out for yourself. Go in and have a blood test taken to rule it out one way or another.
