Stressing for nothing?

I have sensitive skin and last summer I had unprotected sex with a boy and got tested at a clinic ( a month later) and  I had a pelvic exam, I had irritable skin and felt bumps and itched a lot but didn't think anything of it until the examiner at the clinic said "it looked irritated down there". It barely bothered me although it  burned when I pee'd when urine hit the irritation I had NO flu like symptoms but I did have yellowish & sometimes white discharge. The medical examiner swabbed my insides and checked it under a microscope and confirmed I had a yeast infection. I can't remember if the bumps went away with the yeast cream(I think it did, but if it didn't I"m sure it didn't last more than 2 weeks)  but I later found out I had chlamydia, so I'm wondering if i contracted Herpes also and the bumps were my 1st OB and NOT associated with the yeast infection.

P.s I've been stressing a lot especially since a friend of mine found out she had contracted herpes 4 months ago... I do wear tight clothing a lot, & get sick a lot, I've recently had a uti & had no symptoms of bumps anywhere on my body. I also still suck my thumb and bit my fingernails and have never seen a cold sore on my mouth or hands.

Should I really be concerned ?

well the best thing you can do at this point is follow up with a type specific herpes igg blood test when you have the money to do so. we'd totally be guessing as to what caused your bumps you had a year ago.

I had the chlamydia a year ago & was treated but I had a yeast infection also at the time and was treated for that too, but I had bumps that itched down there and assumed it was part of the yeast infection because the examiner didn't show much concern of it. I get tested frequently for std's it's just I never been tested for herpes so now I am worried. As of now I went to the ER this past Oct. and got a pelvic exam done and found out I had a UTI & they say herpes is often triggered with stress or other infections and I didn't/don't ever get bumps when I'm sick or have infections but that time last year when I got the yeast infection ... so my worry is could that mild incident be my first OB?


P.s I would get tested for it now but my insurance cut off

If you are concerned about Herpes or any other STD's then you should have a test to put your mind at rest.

If you have had unprotected sex, then you put yourself at risk.  Herpes is more common than people think, but transmission mainly occurs during intercourse and oral sex.

I assume you've already been treated for Chlamydia?

Hope this helps
