Posted , 6 users are following.

Ive been seeing my partner for around 3 months, he had not had had sex for 2 and half years before me. We both have had HSV1, and had always used a condom except for the other night as I am now on a mini pill. These sores and bumps appeared only a few hours after having unprotected sex, I was fairly stubbly when we did have unprotected sex, these sores hurt EXTREMELY bad, it stings whenever I pee or wipe. I was meant to get a call from a nurse to discuss an appointment however they never got back to me Please helpimageimage

    definitely looks herpetic to me. Please call back and tell them you need to be seen at their first availability today to be swabbed and tested.
