is this herpes?

Posted , 5 users are following.

I had unprotected sex last weekend, it was very rough and caused a tear near my urethra. I also have a small sore next to the tear. I noticed the sore Wednesday. I'm seeing an OBGYN Monday to get it checked. Not sure if it was caused by shaving, the rough sex, or if it is an STI. Its making me really anxious, and I wanted to get people's opinions before I see the doctor. Should I tell people I have had sexual contact with about this? Pics:

      My doctor prescribed me valtrex antiviral pills and licoden jelly to numb the pain . Its working well so far. Still waiting on the swab test results to know the hsv type
