i was tested for everything at the end of decemeber (and had blood tests). but the last five days its been stinging when I pee, and its uncomfortable thoughtout the day. at first i thought it could be a yeast infection, but I went to my GP and they said it could be herpes (tbh theyre not the best gp, but they said they have to consider the worst scenario). they said these sores (picture) could be ingrown hairs but they look like blisters, they also did an internal examination and said i'm really sore and red inside. please can someone help. my gp have told me i need to go to a sexual health clinic but they cant fit me in until tomorrow. apologies for the graphic imagesimageimage

      ive been with partner for 7 months and havent had anything like this. it was a day after intercourse then I felt sore which is why i thought yeast infection. in decemeber i had a blood test but ive been told that doesnt determine anything for HPV

      K. not for HPV but it does for HSV (herpes 1 & 2). It does look like herpes but, like everyone else, only way to confirm is by doing a test. Please get it a swab & do a blood test ASAP.

      If it is positive then maybe he's asymptomatic or maybe it's been dormat in you until now- could. be a few scenarios. I recommend him getting tested too ASAP.

      I wish you the best of luck and either way everything will be alright. You still have a beautiful life ahead of you to live. 🙏💜

      i'm not sure, I got tested for everything, which I usually do every 6 months (i thought this included herpes). I've not been with my partner long, and had only been with one other person which is why i'm devastated.
