My boyfriend has general herpes, we occasionally have unprotected sex. I've had vaginal itching that comes and goes. I've had both yeast infection and UTIs before. Doctor said it was vaginitis. Gave me a pill that barely took the pain away. About 2 months ago i noticed this tiny red bump right on the entrance of my vagina. At first it hurts so badly to even open my legs widely. It stings and burned to pee. I used this cream that my doctor gave me but it didn't go away. I took some of my boyfriends acyclovir for 3 days. We also stopped having sex for 3 weeks. The pain went away and the red pimple went away. We just had sex again 3 days ago and the red bump suddenly appears again. It hurts stings and burns to pee. I did two test one vaginal swamp and one blood test. They both can't back negative for general herpes but positive for herpes 1. Does this look like herpes or a cut? It's only one tiny sore.i only feel the pain when I pee or open my legs widely or wipe after using rest room. It's not excruciating pain but sore like a paper cut.

      It's hard to tell from the pictures. If you came back positive for HSV1 then you may have genital HSV1. You should go to the doctor while you have the sore to get it swabbed, that's the most accurate way to get tested. Good luck!!

    Is your boyfriend on suppressive medicine ?? Does he take it continuously ?

    If your boyfriend has GENITAL herpes .. I figured you would have the same thing .

    You might have it hsv type one genitally wise ...

    You should definitely get swabbed again .

    Whatever you do have is genital wise .

      Yes my boyfriend takes acyclovir. He takes it only when he gets symptoms. The first time I had this it went away after about 2 weeks and I wasn't sure if it was because I took some of his medicine.

      The second time(this post) it went away about 5 days later. It doesn't itch or anything only burns when my pee touches it.

      If he has Type 2, he should have been taking the meds daily, regardless of outbreaks, to protect you, also condoms. Herpes can pass without symptoms being present. In fact, that is the most common way it's spread. You said that you swabbed negative for Type 2, but swabs are usually typed, so does that mean it was positive for Type 1? How new were your sores when they were swabbed?

      My boyfriend has both type 1 and type 2. The blood test came back positive for type 1. Since I have never had any sores on my lips to do a swap the doctor only did a vaginal swap which came back negative for hsv type 2.
