I took an STI test & it was all negative but didn’t test for herpes & I’m worried I have it.

I took an STI test for chlamydia, HIV and gonorrhea and it was all negative, but it didn't test for herpes and I'm worried I might have it. I had a UTI but I took antibiotics and have no pain urinating anymore. Only have one whitish sore on my labia minora, is this normal. I'm reading all kinds of things on the internet and want to get a second opinion before I go back and get blood work. image

      a bit painful , ugh i'm so worried and ashamed. is it possible it could be anything else. I feel so gross and irresponsible. if it makes any difference I haven't had sex since January and this is my first ever bump.

      I actually take that back, it was only painful because I kept touching and rubbing it. have also vaginally inserted a probiotic and always use Apple Cider for my BV which I'm thinking may cause irritation. it doesn't hurt when I sit, walk and isn't even painful to the touch anymore. Could it be something else?

      do you currently have BV? timing doesnt really matter with herpes. BV can cause you to have an outbreak. im not sure what else it may be. i would get checked just to be safe. since your last possible exposure was in Jan, it would show up in the blood test.

      okay definitely going to get it checked out, all my partners insist they've been tested and are clean, but I want to obviously be on the safe side. ugh
