Do I have herpes???

Posted , 4 users are following.

I am a college student and I was sexually assaulted 2 years ago. Ever since then, I’ve been too scared to get checked for anything and I feel like I have something, but I also feel like I could just be freaking myself out. Sometimes my vagina burns and sometimes when I have sex I get a burning sensation but I don’t know if that’s just because of the trauma I went through. I need help anyone please!

      I will upload a picture as soon as I can. I have like small yellow patches of dots on my vagina. They look like streaks.

    Hi Gina, I am so sorry that happened to you. That is just terrible.

    Have you ever had any lesions? Burning sensation alone does not mean herpes.

    It could be Bacterial Vaginosis, yeast infection, UTI, or an STD. You're best to see a doctor and have an STD screening. You'll fee much better once you get it over and done with.

      Thank you, I have been wanting to go but I just cannot get myself to go. Just brings back bad memories and I am nervous to find out the truth. I have not had lesions (idt at least)
