I had unprotected sex and a couple days later, it experienced itching and saw that I had small bumps. A few days later, the bumps became very painful and I had white lumpy discharge. I went to get a STD clinic and did a urine, blood, and culture swab of my bumps. My results said everything was negative except BV ( bacterial Vaginosis). I was put on 2 antibotics and an ointment for the BV. The NP said it doesnt look like herpes and the sores have gone away. Should I be worried about herpes as well and should i get re-tested????imageimage

    That doesnt look like BV on its own, the sores do look more suspicious. It could still be infected hair follicles since you appear to shave, but as yoi say, could be something more sinister. I would go to a clinic for confirmation and to out your mind at rest.

    My GP said that if they don't ulcerate it probably won't be herpes. But as the others said, get another test to be sure.
