Herpes

Hi I went to the dr who thinks i have genital herpes, this would make sense as DP gets cold sores yet I have managed to not get anything for 30 years from him. The Dr cannot test me and referred me to the sti clinic, however they can't see me until Monday, so basically Dr couldn't prescribe anything.

With the weekend looming i googled and can see that Superdrug do tablets so have go those to tide me over. Question is, is there still any point in me keeping the sti date as if I do have this the tablets will work and that's that. was agonising so just wanted something to help.

Don't you want confirmation that it IS herpes? And if it is, the clinic would be able to give you stronger meds.

Hmmmmmm my understanding is that whilst related cold sores are different to genital herpes - I thought genital heroes could only be transmitted sexually?
