Hello, a few days ago I had a really sore and itchy genital. I have found some lumps (they don't hurt to touch but it is generally sore!). I went to the clinic and they did a test for herpes which I get back next week, but did say I had BV so gave me some medication to treat that. Could this also be herpes? I am really anxious and worried.

Hi guys, I've just got back from the clinic as the treatment wasnt working. Unfortunately the tests came back positive for herpes. Obviously I am absolutely gutted, angry and don't feel myself at all. I have been prescribed some medication to help heal the blisters, but the doctor said the next 6-12 months are the most important to tell me how severe the virus will be for me. If its a regular episode, they can prescribe medication to help control it, but ultimately its just one of those things I'll now have to live with.
