Do I have genital herpes?

Posted , 3 users are following.

Hello. i am a female and ive been intimate with another female who has HSV1 genitally. she is on medication as well. I went to get tested and was confirmed positive for HSV1 orally but was told ive had it for 2 years now. i read if i have it orally the chances are very low to get it genitally bc of antibodies. well i have this blister now on my groin after being with her again (wearing underwear). at first i thought it was an ingrown hair from shaving but my ingrowns dont usually look like this or stay this long. can anyone take a look at let me know if it looks like herpes? im having anxiety. thank youimageimageimageimage

    it does not look like a herpes blister at all. if it was a herpes blister it would be changing in appearance as it technically goes through different stages like getting cold sores in your mouth. does it have any fluid inside?

      no fluid inside. it almost looks like a cold sore thats already healing..
