Lately I've been reading online about herpes, I wasn't paranoid and until I seen that you can have it w/o knowing. I became extremely paranoid I would read about herpes almost everyday thinking I had it. Right now I'm at my paranoid stage again. Especially bc reading online can be so misleading. Any small thing that happened to me I would think it was an STD. I read that some ppl are in so much pain they can't even walk, I haven't been in any pain. I have a sore razor bump in my bikini area that went away in maybe two or three days & yeast infection and supposedly you can get both of those mixed up with herpes but an expert told me those three things act very differently (misleading info read online). I remember burning while pee but I believe it was because I just shaved, I don't think It was from the inside and it wasn't painful or anything (being very paranoid). here are my questions

1.If you don't have visible or no symptoms at all, will you eventually have an outbreak?

2. Where do outbreaks appear on the body? (I asked bc I have something that looks like an insect bite on the inner thigh that looks like a welt)

3. What are little to mild symptoms?

4. How long after contracting will you start to have symptoms? (If you get them)

If you have this STD in any form pls tell the symptoms you experienced

Sorry for the long post but I'm just paranoid.

    Hi Jk8150...........STD........first thing first......you must see a Doctor and get tested for STD!  Do not compare anyone symptons to yourself!!!  Yeast infection and Std both have something in common......and that is itchyness!  However.......STD.......can only be treated with medication.  That means it is a virus that breaks out in and around your vagina and anal area in blisters.....that starts of as itchyness.....which forms into red bumbs and continues into what looks looks like a slight cut!  YES....it becomes painful if you do not take your medication on time!!  There is no cure.....just controlled by prescription meds!!  Or at least until someone invents a cure?  In the mean time........if you have not seen a Doctor......refrain yourself from sex and oral sex right now.  "IF" you have STD...it is highly contageous.......you can never ever have oral sex!!  Unless your partner wears a condom.....and I mean a condom only for oral!!  And then if you are just going to have intercourse....there would have to be a different condom for intercourse!!  The way I look at it....if I like kissing.....and kissing my babies...my mother...father...siblings....or anyone I meet........or greetings on cheeks and lips......I can not have oral sex....nor can I ever have it be done to me......cause it is deadly contageous!!!  Moving forward.........first thing first before you jump to any conclusions.......get to your family Doctor and get tested for STD......then take it frome there.  I am here if you need to talk after that.......good-luck with your result.  I hope I have shed some light for you?

      Okay thanks BUT I'm just asking questions. I only wanted to know the different type of symptoms there are. The yeast infection I had was months ago & the itchyness didn't form into anything. It went away after I used a 3 day treatment. the razor bump went away in a couple of days too (these were not around the same time) , but I had just shaved a day or two before it came. I haven't been in any pain! Just a curious person. Any paranoid person would jump to conclusions, though.

    Well I can share my symptoms......starts off with an itchyness in or and around the vaginal and or anal area.....causing red bumbs turning into blisters......blisters that have open wounds that can spread and get bigger.  Yes it is painful once the blisters appears.  the only way I can clear it is to take  my meds Valtrex.

      On a level of 1-10 how bad is the pain? (Breaking the scale is an option)
