i had unprotected sex with my partner and everything was cool. a couple days later , i got in the hot tub and the next day. i woke up with these. which have progressed and not in a good way. i took a igg test a couple months ago and tested negative for both HSV1 & 2. now im worried i may have been tested prematurely , seeing as this relationship is fairly new. my appointment isnt until the 20th and these bumps will probably be gone by then. i just want accurate results imageimageimage

    Maybe you can go into an Urgent Care facility to get tested while they are still present.

    If your going to have a outbreak it usually will show up within 21 days of exposure.

    Looks like herpes to me.

    But it can be bacterial. Best bet is to get it swabbed while they are there it will give you more of an accurate results.
