Ok this is a long story. I got swabbed for HSV a year ago and it was negative. Turned out to just be an abrasion from rough sex and it healed. Broke up with that guy. Since then, I have been with one guy, E, for a year. I also dated another guy, R, simultaneously for two months in the summer. No protection used.

Now, 2 weeks ago my vagina was really itchy one night. I have recurring BV so just figured it was that. I take boric acid suppositories for that pretty regularly so took one and the itching went away within a couple days. Then this Monday I felt sharp pain like glass in my vagina and had itching again. I took a look and there are a couple blisters right outside the opening so that explained the pain. Since then I've had a lot of pain and itching. Saw the OBGYN today and she said I have BV and she swabbed the lesions and said they look "suspicious" so now I have to wait and hear back if it is herpes. Does this look like herpes? Could it be something else? And would a blood test tell me if I just got it recently from E or if I got it from R in the summer? I have never had these symptoms so I have to assume it is my first outbreak. Does this look like herpes???? I am going insane with anxiety. Please help. Thank you imageimage

    its honestly probably not looks like yeast sores, but as far as finding out who it came from is nearly impossible if it was herpes

      Thank you for responding! I cant think of anything else it could be except yeast sores...I hope it is. They look exactly like canker sores that I get inside my mouth they dont really look like pictures of herpes I have seen online...but I probably shouldnt get my hopes up

      I have heard if the blood test is positive that means it happened longer ago?
