Just recently i started to feel alot of discomfort in my vaginal area. At first i thought it was a u.t.i or maybe even a yeast infection but then i discovered something odd. I got my phone and took a picture because i felt that something was NOT right. I came across these bumps and red and dark dots in the opening of my vagina. Im freaking out because i recently ended my 6 year relationship with my ex because he cheated on me and was diagnosed with HSV 1 & HSV 2. I pray that he did not infect me because i don't jnow how my body will react to that with me having lupus. I need help 😭😔

    Go to the doctor ASAP and get a herpes culture done. Does it hurt when you urinate and is it sore to the touch? Because your ex had it I would not take it lightly and go get checked out. Bumps don’t usually come out of nowhere for no reason down there.

    If he had both HSV-1 and 2, chances are very high that you have been infected as well. Even with protected sex, there is still a chance to transmit the virus.

    Your ex partner has both HSV1 and HSV2, so it's necessary for you to get tested. Herpes test may be easier if you're visible herpes symptoms (bumps). In case the test is possitive, you're not alone because there're many people have the virus and live happily. Also, antiviral medications will help you relieve its symptoms as well as reduce the number of herpes outbreaks.
