      Please don't be terrified. I would NOT wish this on my worst enemy but honestly if it is herpes it is not bad. And the good news is your boyfriend already has it. Call the dr ASAP and get a diagnosis.

    Yeast does not look like this. Also that it is spreading and painful to touch. Friday the swab won't be accurate. Swabs are only good the first 2 days after the sore appears. This is how so many misdiagnoses happen. I would do a swab and a blood test. If blood test is negative retest kn 12 weeks for accurate results. I'm sorry I hope still for you it is something else.
