i had a boyfriend for about 2 yrs &we had unprotected sex occasionally. He went to the doctor regularly so i think he was clean. We stopped seein each other around the beginning of december. I've been having sex with another guy since then (protected sex that is)...except for twice but it was oral sex. About 2 days after the last time (about a week and a half) i noticed a small cut-like thing on the inner region of my labia and now i hav like about 6-7 sores around the pubic region and leading up to the anus. They hurt when i shower and are painful to touch.....HELP!!

Sores
-
Sounds like Herpes. You should check it out with a doctor while the sores are still there.
-
i kno this mite sound like a dumb question....but wat exactly do u say to the doc? ....i think i hav herpes?
-
wat if i'm not able to go to the doc until after they are better...wat wud i tell him then?
-
You have to have it diagnosed while you still have sores. Otherwise they'd have to do a blood test. You need to know if you have herpes. It's disease you carry for your whole life, and it's not fair to spread it to other people. You need to know if you have it, and if you do, you have to tell anyone you have sexual encounters with.
-
i wudnt hide it from anybody. thats not fair to them. but my problem is i'm not goin to be able to go to the doc until like next week. do u think they'll stil be there then?
-
i kno but i dont live near one and i'm stuck at home with my baby sister today and tomorrow so i wudnt be able to go until i go bak to school (monday)and i hav like a million classes monday, tues, and wed so maybe not til thursday. i kno its important that i get it done as soon as possible, but possible doesnt seem to be very soon. do u think the clinic at my school wud do stuf like that?
-

-
The services offered include: medical consultations and referrals, pharmaceuticals as required, nursing services, family planning advice and supplies, and counseling for personal, financial and mental health issues....thats from the school website...wud medical consultations include stuf like that?
-
if i call them wat exactly do i ask if they do?
-
ok.....i called and they sed they do. but i need to come in and get an appointment(wich for some dumb reason i cant do over the phone)
-
Yea i know it is....and even if it wasnt it hurts and is pretty scary to deal with so thats enuf incentive for me to try n get it dealt with.
-
If it is herpes they can give you lots of information on it and give you some viral medication that will control your outbreaks and help you heal.
-
umm....i was wondering...who wud u think i got it from? the guy that i'm havin sex with now even tho its protected sex? is it possible i got it from my ex-boyfriend (i havnt had sex with him since the beginnin of december) its not possible for him to hav given me it n i be ok for 2 months, is it?
-
can u get it from havin protected sex?
-
no....i'm definetely gettin checked out. I was just wonderin who i got it from
-
I have a friend who had sex with someone and got an outbreak like three months later. Usually they tend to show up after a couple weeks, but it varies greatly among person to person.
-
You also could have gotten it from someone who had a cold sore going down on you. Herpes 1 ("mouth herpes") can be spread down there.
-
the guy that i'm havin sex with now hasnt gone down on me and we haven't had unprotected sex...is it possible its from him? :confused:
-
thanx a million....that was really helpful.
