Do I have an STI!? Ulcers on vagina

I basically never had an STI, got tested right before I moved to Africa (all clean). I live in a very remote area where there are no clinics to get tested or get myself looked at. I randomly got my first UTI (and put myself on some antibiotics for this) last week around the same time I started developing some spots and some ulcers all around my vagina. They are spreading and after heaps of googling I have no idea what they are. I'm on lots of suppliments (multi vits, magnesium, iron) all of which I've been taking for some time with no complications (diet is terrible here), I'm not taking any other meds. My boyfriend has never been tested though but we have been sleeping together for like 9 months so I'm sure if he had something symptoms would've flagged up sooner (no symptoms for him also!)? I covered up my skin tag in the pictures so as not to confuse anyone!

Lots of pain while peeing but I assume that's the UTI/pee getting on the ulcers. No smelly discharge.

    Looks like Herpes. Your boyfriend may have it as well even tough he has no symptoms. You both need to be treated . No sex while the ulcers are open and weeping. Can you get into your nearest town to see a doctor?
