I've been having pretty constant vaginal itching (and sometimes anal) for several years now. The itching gets particularly bad at night and terrible around the time of my period. If I scratch too much, the area also gets painful. All my paps have come back normal and I recently went to get a herpes blood test. I was positive for HSV 1. Previously, I dated a guy who would perform oral sex on me, but we would always try not to do this when he was having an oral HSV 1 outbreak. Basically, I can't think what else is causing my symptoms. Could this constant itching be caused by a genital HSV 1 infection?
