Is it possible for a hospital to misdiagnosis    Genital herpes? I was admitted to the hospital and was told I had genital herpes, I couldn't believe it. I was freaking out because I recently was having sex non stop with this guy. Before I was having sex with him I was clean, I would always get checked. When I had sex with him, I started to get these white rashes and they would hurt when I would touch them and when I would pee. That's when I found out I had it. We went to go get him checked and they said no he didn't have it so is it possible that I was misdiagnosed?
