Yesterday I noticed these medium/large pimples on the left of my labia majora and started freaking out. I've been having sex with this new guy for the past month now and it was idiotically unprotected, because I take contraception and trusted he was clean like he said. There were no signs of pain or itching before they showed up and now they've been irritated and have become open and sore. It's painful to the touch and hurts to wear underwear. I'm terrified it may be herpes or some sort of STD, but I haven't experienced any symptoms besides having these 4 individual pimple like bumps on my labia. I can't get tested for another 2-3 weeks when my health insurance comes through. Please help! If this isn't detailed enough then please let me know. I have been searching around the internet and it seems to be anything.

So it took about 3 days from the first appearance of herpes, which was fissures in a cluster at first and one pimple NY my opening, till I started to feel worn down. This is just the beginning stage hun. I hope this is not the case but it is only going to get worse from here if this is your first ob. Are you itchy?

Over 80% of people either have no symptoms or are so mild, they mistook them for pimples, razor burn, thrush, jock itch, etc and never link it to being herpes, because they have minimal symptoms and not the "classic" symptoms you hear about. You will not know for sure until you get tested. Keep in mind, new infections test negative because your body hasn't built antibodies to it yet. My first test came back negative, second one 3 months later came back positive.
Everyone is different, but I've never heard of pimples that hurt so bad, underwear hurts.

That's why I'm not crossing out herpes or anything of the sort because I could just not be showing symptoms. But thank you for all you're help, I'm going to see how this plays out the next couple of days and see if anything happens.

1. Is there a chance you got it w the guy before him? Yes, either through sex or oral. Condoms only provide 30% protection from herpes and genital warts.. Lots of exposed skin the condom doesn't cover. I think if you did get it, you likely got it from this guy.
2. If it's hsv2, you got it from sex. If it is hsv 1, you likely got that from oral sex.
3. Why haven't you gotten tested yet?
4. Keep in mind that if it turns out to be hsv 2, he very well may not be aware be has it. Over 80% of people w genital herpes are unaware they have it, because they are asymptomatic or symptoms so mild, they don't link it to herpes or think it's thrush, jock itch, pimples, razor burn, rash.. Etc...

1) no I don't think I got it from the guy before him because it was quite a few months ago only once and I know him personally so I know it wouldnt be him.
2) is there a way without tests to tell which it is? Doubtful but still asking
3)I called the planned parenthood and they're the cheapest without insurance is still $110 so I'm waiting for my check to deposit. I'll be tested by Thursday.
4) yeah I remember reading about it while I was looking up symptoms. But I just hope he takes it well when I do tell him!
