okay, i'm 17 years old and i've only had sex twice, with two different people.
my first boyfriend was also a virgin, and we used a condom.
my new boyfriend isn't a virgin, and we only had sex one week ago, and we also used a condom. but he couldn't really get inside me.
last friday night i started to feel soreness, and i figured that it was due to him being very rough with foreplay. the soreness started to get worse as the week went on, and when i decided to check it out with a mirror, i noticed alot of bumps along one side of my vagina, and on the inside. the pain is veryy bad, especially when i urinate, and it even keeps me awake at night. most of them look like little pimples, and blood and kind of pus come from them. i went to see my doctor today, and she said that it could be herpes. my boyfriend said he is 100% certain that he doesn't have anything, and we did use a condom.. but i'm really freaking out! i'll find out for sure next week but i am still VERY freaked out.
is there a chance that maybe my boyfriend has herpes without knowing and gave it to me, or is it something else?

Hi,
Unfortunately it is possible that he has herpes and didn't know about it, or thought it was cured. It is a viral infection, once you get it you'll always have it. It can lie dormant but every so often it appears in outbreaks.
Again, you can't cure it. It does go dormant.
A week days for signs to show is about right. I'm glad you got tested. Your boyfriend should be tested as well.
Hang in there. Post back if you have any questions and please let us know the results.
Good luck.
