Today I Had Rough Sex With My Boyfriend And 30 Minutes After We Finished I Started To Get A Pain In My Vaginal Area So When I'm Home  I Got A Mirror And Saw A  Sore By My Vaginal Entry And I Scared He Could Have Got It From  That One Mistake

    No. Rough sex can cause pain & injuries but not herpes. For herpes one or both of you must have the virus in your body & after 2 or more days or months or years you may get a breakout. Not as an immediate result of rough sex.

      Depends if you were shedding at the time, which is impossible to know. Also, which type you have. Rough sex can trigger shedding/outbreaks for some people, and also makes it easier for the negative person to acquire it (increased likelihood of micro abrasions).
