it looks like more of a whitehead pimple than a herpe. but if that is one of the symptoms i would go your doctor asap and ask them to swab test it. but it looks harmless to me. (i am not an expert, dont take my word for it)

make sure they so a swab!!
if herpes is only new in your system there will be no point of a blood test!
herpes is not the end of the world. it takes some time to get used to mentally and physically but it shouldnt stop you from anything!
also you can still have children naturally. usally it is only bad if you contract herpes while pregnant! dont worry about that know though until you know for sure 😃

fingers crossed. honestly if this were herpes I feel like it would be much worse if it was an initial outbreak. if you shaved it could be an infected hair follicle from bacteria. I would recommend a swab instead of a blood test.

thats why i have hope because i think an first outbreak would be worse as well. only reason im a little scared is because a smaller looking one appeared next to it and its been on me for a week now and im also very paranoid 😕

Herpes can lie dormant for years or show up within weeks, you can't pinpoint when you got the virus. I am not a professional, however, I do recommend getting the sores tested. Wait for it to heal before you become sexually active again. If you have another sore appear, try to get into a doctor for a culture within the first two days of its appearance. This is important, the sooner the more accurate the test results.
To me, again not a professional, it looks like an ingrown hair.

im getting my blood tested and results should be in a few days, im hoping its an infected ingrown hair due to shaving 😦 im just very scared right now. if i do have it, any recommendations on how i should ask the person who infected me?

It's hard to know who actually infected you, if it is even herpes!
I wouldn't stress about it, the statistics are 1 in 5 people have genital herpes. There are ways you can suppress and manage outbreaks. Its not the end of the world! 😃
If you can, skip the medical doctor and go to a specialist. A dermatologist will know better. I have had too many opinions and results. They can perform a biopsy.
Honestly, I really don't think its herpes!

Just replied to you in more detail, but this is a very, very, VERY classic presentation of herpes.

when i got tested for hiv (which was negative btw ) they said since i havent had any symptoms since my last encounter (about 16 months ago) i should be fine. did they lie??

No they didn't. HIV testing is very advanced and you are conclusively negative. There is no need for further worry about any past exposure.

I see. No that isn't accurate then. Many STDs can be "silent" for years. Get a full panel, and be sure to tell them you want herpes testing included as well.
