Is this herpes?
Posted , 3 users are following.
I recently came in contact with someone that had herpes. Unfortunately, she told me afterwards. She said she hadn't had an outbreak in 7 years and has never given it to anyone. The last time she was checked was Feb 2018. I was tested 2 weeks after the protected sex but unprotected oral sex and tested negative but part of me thought it was too early to tell. It's been a month now and I recently shaved my pubic area and these bumps popped up along with a bigger one with pus. I am 98% sure they are ingrown hairs but I still want to be sure. Pretty sure I am just paranoid but still would like to know.

Let me also point out after the negative test result I started having sex with someone else. They had a rash on their hip that we thought was a bug bite but was very itchy to them and got bigger but probably because they kept scratching. It has since gone away. Also she now has 1 bump on her buttocks that looks like popped blister that scabbed but it was just one. I don't think it was herpes but wasn't sure. Nothing has been clusters though.

I have been in the position as well. He decided not to tell me until AFTER. Since then I've had the worst health anxiety (this was 2 years ago! and his outbreak was 3 years prior to that and never had one since apparently). I check myself daily, any sign of irritation I start to panic. I did go for a blood test after he told me but I've since read from this website that it may have been too soon as well - but I've never had an outbreak and also had a full STD screening about 3 months ago.
From your photos, I'd say it's an ingrown hair.

Thanks so much. Yeah I don't understand how people can be so selfish.
