I think I may have herpes??

Question

I found a couple (two or three) whiteish bumps on my vulva that resembled ingrown hairs a week after having unprotected sex with a new partner who claimed to be clean. The area itched like mad and the bumps were sore and lasted a little over a week. At first I thought it was bad razor burn because I tend to shave down there without shaving cream. The bumps never crusted over before going away, which is something that every website I've checked says happens. I went to my doctor but my blood tests came back unsure, and my doctor wants me to retake them in 6 weeks. So now I'm confused about what to do and still unsure if this is herpes or not.

Help?

Answer 1

Herpes doesn't always have to crust over. You can have areas that burn and itch and it can look like razor burn. If your test came back inconclusive I would do what your MD suggested, get the blood test again in 6 weeks. In the meantime I would not have unprotected sex. If you do have herpes you will be spreading it to other partners. If you do have it you can take medication to decrease the outbreaks but there is no cure for genital herpes. And remember if you do end up having it, it is your responsibility to inform your partners and from then on you should ALWAYS use protection.

I got clinically diagnosed with herpes simplex virus (type 2) about 5 yrs ago, while I was still in college and had a foolish one-night stand. I understand lots of young ladies will say this, but I swear I had certainly not done that sort of thing before. I just made a mistake that one time and all of a sudden it seemed like I was going to have to live with the consequences for the rest of my life. The worst part was feeling I could never date men again. In the end, who wants to go out with a girl that has sores round her you-know-what? But since a friend shared this movie https://tr.im/7RRnY everything got better.

Not only was I able to eliminate all traces of the herpes simplex virus from my system in less than 21 days, but I was also able to begin dating once more. I even met the guy of my dreams and I'm so blessed to write that just a week ago, in front of everybody in a busy cafe, he got down on one knee and proposed to me!! This method gave me back the opportunity to be happy and experience true love. Now I want to help you too by sharing this with the whole World.

I am absolutely terrified and I feel so alone. I just found out last week that I tested positive for hsv1 and 2. I have been with the same man for the past 10 years and within the last year found out that he has cheated on me with numerous women. I am so scared that I can give it to my children by kissing them and them eating with me...I feel like my whole life has changed. And even though the nurses, my doctor, and websites say that a lot of people have it I still feel like I am by myself. My self esteem has dropped and I feel like I have been used up. But now, My life is very happy.

Relax. Nothing you can do in the short run is going to change the outcome very much.

Talk to your partner about this. If he understands that you've had suspicious symptoms, that tests are inconclusive at this point, and that you'll know for sure in a couple of months, then he should have no problem with getting tested to be sure that he's really clean. No matter how the test turns out, it would provide peace of mind for both of you.

Um, and in the meantime, practice sufficiently safe sex that you're unlikely to give it to him if you've somehow contracted it and he hasn't.

Answer 6

Maybe the doctor can test you in another month or two. I'm not too famililar with the blood tests for Herpes.

You should check to see if they can do a culture, and test the area itself to see what it is.

Best of luck to you!

Answer 7

It could very well be a strain of HPV. HPV causes warts or "bumps" like what you're describing. Good luck to you!
