I have herpes simplex virus-1

I've never experienced symptoms on my vulva or the general area though and I don't fully shave often though, at most once every few months, so I'm thinking (hoping) this might be ingrowns?? I also have a bad habit of picking at anything that feels like it shouldn't be there, these didn't itch, tingle, or give off the same ache that hsv-1 gives when I have an outbreak on my lips, I'm still worried though, I have a partner that doesnt have hsv-1 image

    both hsv 1 & 2 can become genital herpes. if you were shedding orally and or having sex or getting spit on your vagina while shedding you could have transferred the virus to the genitals
