Had protected sex with a guy who has genital herpes

Posted , 3 users are following.

In the beginning of December about 4 months ago I had protected sex with a guy who had genital herpes he claimed to be on anti viral medication and that he's never had an outbreak, he got tested after his ex cheated on him with a guy that had genital herpes and he got it. We never did oral or anything just sex and it's was for like 5 minutes if that. But after that I began experiencing weird symptoms like I had a green discharge with a weird odor but not foul. And then I looked in the mirror and I noticed that It was really red right in the opening of my vagina on both sides and I could see like a little sore on both sides but I'm not sure if that's just from touching it so much and it's really raw but I left it alone and it's still there to this day and idk what it could be. It's not really a blister it's just a sore and it hurts to touch. I have one on both sides but they arent leaking or anything. I was wondering if it could be from my pelvic exam because it hurt really bad when I got it done but that was before I had sex with him. Idk any ideas

    Herpes does not cause greenish, unusual smelling discharge, but other vaginal infections can. Herpes lesions also wouldn't remain for so long without change. Did the pelvic exam come back with anything? They shouldn't normally hurt that bad. The best thing is to go back to the doctor and have it checked out again.

      My first initial didn't come back with anything and I was good for a few weeks and the. After like a week from having sex with the guy I started having that weird discharge and I thought I was just freaking myself out. I ended up going back to the doctors and got another pelvic exam and it came back posted for Trich and I didn't understand because I haven't had sex since I was last tested besides the herpes guy and it was protected. But anyways I got antibiotics and then I was fine still had the sores though. The gyno didn't see them nor did I even think to bring it up because I just thought that she would have seen them. Still have not had sex and am experiencing the same discharge as before. With abnormal bleeding and I have been touching and looking at the sores a lot so that's probably not helping. I just think I'm freaking myself out but idk what else to do

      Figured the green discharge must be from something else. Herpes causes a watery discharge or is sometimes linked with BV or yeast, but they don't typically cause a greenish discharge either. That's odd how you seem to have gotten trich from protected sex. If the bumps persist, have them looked at, but herpes lesions usually burst and ulcerate within a week, then take a couple of weeks to heal during a first outbreak.
