Herpes???

I have had unprotected sex after self isolation from Covid 19 and recently developed symptoms of multiple infections. It began with a burning sensation when passing urine and my vagina was very red. A day later I noticed sores located inside my vagina. They did not look like herpes/warts but there is always what if? They're ulcer looking but only located in certain areas, not in clusters, just the odd one. I have also had excessive discharge to the point of wearing a pad. This is quite cloudy, stretchy at times and very watery.

I have been the doctors and they are still quite unsure what the problem is, they are not certain on herpes or another infection such as yeast or BV. I have had STI tests done and waiting on results.

I just thought I'd ask on here for some advice and see what anyone thought.

The sores have not cleared up after 3 days of being on herpes treatment. Also I have noticed bumps inbetween my thighs appear which are very sore. I was given the treatment just incase it is herpes.

Thank you.imageimageimage

    How long after unprotected sex did symptoms appear? Did you do a full panel - includes blood tests for herpes?

      I got my results today and unfortuantely i have tested positive for HSV2. With herpes, you can contract them at anytime as the virus lays dormant. So i couldnt say when i caught the virus from sexual activity! I did a swab not a blood test
