ok.. so I had unprotected sex with a friend of mine on Feb 13-14.. about three to four days later i noticed a small bump on my vagina lip area and it kinda hurt to touch.. about two days later i noticed a clusters of sores on my bikini area (kinda like under my vagina) and another sore in my vagina lip area that were so painful I eventually went to urgent care on Feb 21.. the doctor looked at the sores and immediately said it was herpes.. she did some tests and the tests came back positive for herpes but i dont know which strain.. she gave me acyclovir to take 3 times a day for ten days along with some numbing cream.. exactly 3 days later the sores were completely gone, before i finished the treatment (im still taking the medicine)..

4 or 5 ago I was tested for herpes and my result came back positive for HSV 1- 1.14.. the doctor told me it was noithing to worry about.. Prior to now, I have never had any type of symptom of any kind ever.. 

My friend and I never used condoms for over a year. the last time we had sex he ejaculated on my vagina (the first time hes ever done that).. could this have caused an OB? could i have given this to him? could he have given this to me? im so lost and depressed.. i dont know what to do! 

I did confront him about it and he told me he was tested for herpes and said he didnt have it (last tine he checked). He said he will go get tested again.

Ive never been so depressed in my life.

      You aren't alone at all, I know how you feel. Myself and others are dealing with the same kind of stuff you are, you have to be mentally strong otherwise it'll be in control

    You are not alone in this... I feel alone too trust me. But you're not... I'm 21, on the 13-14 of February is when my good friend and I found feelings for eachother and had sex. Couple days later and I have a painful lesion and a couple blisters here and there. I feel a lot better now, but still a little discomfort. Waiting for results still, they are taking forever and I'm dying to know which one it is. Just be thankful you don't have type 2... I'm hoping I don't have that one. I really wish there was a cure. I''ve been down in the dumps and my family, coworkers and friends including my best friend/boyfriend are concerned... I just feel wasted. Like, I'm young and not ugly and now I have this on my vagina.... IDK even where it came from. Because he doesn't have symptoms but this happened a couple days after we had unprotected sex.

    There's no way he got tested for that because you gotta ask for the doctor to get you tested for herpes if you don't have blisters they don't bother to do it because it will come out negative. Some people don't have symtoms at all and none when they have type 1. He probably has it and will come out to be negative is the virus is no active is not going to appear on the test. Good luck Hun. I'm passing through the same, I'm depressed but life is beautiful we have a long way to go.
