I had sex on saturday and now its almost wednesday and I am really scared I could have herpes...I dont have bumps but its a little soar down there, it doesnt appear to be unusally red, it just feel irratable. I read somewhere that as much as 25% of the population had this and I am so scared, it all I think about
I had the same problem about 6 weeks ago. No abnormal redness, bumps, or blisters - just irritable. I'm not sure if its a problem or not but its been on my mind constantly. From what ive gathered from these boards it could be anxiety and i sure am worried sick. I check myself an uncountable amount of times a day and get worried at even the slightest itch down there. I guess I just have to wait the 3 months to get tested to put my mind at ease. Anyone have any ideas?
any ideas?
Since 25% of the population has it, if you did not catch it this time chances are good you will in the future. If you do see any sores get into the dr right away. They can culture it and provide you with medication to clear it more quickly. If nothing develops be sure to have a blood test in a few months.
Herpes is not the scary disease many think it is. For the majority it is no big deal. In fact 90% of those who have it do not even know it. This makes it even more important for both you and your partner to be tested before any new sexual activity
