| Hello. I had sex a week ago,(Saturday) quite bizarre and it was unprotected. I know this guy, he didn't let go inside me, however it was really rough sex and for a really long time (4 1/2 hours). Well Naturally two days later I was ridicously sore and swollen. Since tuesday the swelling has gone down but my vagina burns and I have noticed little welts on the vagina and pimples. Now I'm praying I dont have herpes. I had started the HPV vaccine early that month, but I know it does not protect against everything. My Vagina is not really red it doesn't itch it just burns and I can pee fine. I talked to the guy about it earlier that week and said he was tested 3 months ago and was clean however he said he had had sex with one other girl who had also said she had be tested and was clean. I realize people do lie, but my friend has always been straight with me and I know if had something he would tell me even it killed him. I've signed up for a test at nearby clinic. Is it possible though that I have something with similiar symptoms or that I tore up something and it is infected now? Please reply. Thank you. |

Herpes is NOT cureable and you will have it forever. Pop a pimple or not but if it IS herpes there is no way to get rid of it. There is a pill you can take and it can helpo with symptoms etc but remember even if it goes dormant and symptoms stop you will ALWAYS be a carrier and ALWAYS be still be contagious!
FACTS ABOUT GENITAL HERPES:
Transmission is caused by close oral, anal, or genital contact, including intercourse, masturbation, kissing, or any direct skin-to-skin contact which allows for the transfer of bodily fluids.
A person is considered contagious when prodromal symptoms, active sores, and healing lesions are present.
Herpes is potentially contagious when no symptoms are present. That is, a person who has genital herpes is potentially always shedding active virus.
Approximately 1 in 6 members of the general infected population is thought to shed active virus occasionally without symptoms.
Some people do not get typical blister-like sores but harbor active virus in their saliva, vaginal, or penile secretions, and can shed the virus without knowing they have herpes.
Lesions can occur deep inside the vagina where they cannot be seen or felt, but can readily transmit the virus.
An uninfected individual has about a 75% chance of contracting herpes during intimate contact with someone actively shedding virus.
Oral herpes can be transmitted to the genitals, and vice versa. Symptoms are similar.
Auto-inoculation: An infected individual can spread the virus to other parts of his or her body by touching an area shedding virus and then touching, scratching, or rubbing another susceptible part of the body. Towels are especially conducive to this.
It is possible for a person to contract genital herpes if the partner with oral herpes performs oral sex. Oral herpes can be transmitted to the genitals, and vice versa. Symptoms are similar.
Environmental surfaces like toilet seats may be a source of contagion, but there is no evidence that this poses a real threat to the general population. Experts differ as to how long the virus can survive on its own. The primary cause of infection remains intimate contact.
What happens when you first get herpes?
Symptoms of herpes usually develop within 2 to 20 days after contact with the virus, although it could take longer. These symptoms may last up to several weeks, varying from one person to the next. In many people, the first infection is so mild that it goes unnoticed. In others, the first attack causes visible sores. Even so, subsequent recurrences of the disease may cause lesions. When the sores are completely healed, the active phase of infection is over. Healing of the skin usually leaves no scars. In either case, the virus retreats into the nervous system and lies dormant.
Typical symptoms
The virus starts to multiply when it gets into the skin cells. The skin becomes red and sensitive, and soon afterward, one or more blisters or bumps appear. The blisters first open, and then heal as new skin tissue forms. During a first outbreak, the area is usually painful and may itch, burn or tingle. Flu-like symptoms are also common. These include swollen glands, headache, muscle ache or fever. Herpes may also infect the urethra, and urinating may cause a burning sensation. |
