bled after unprotected exposure..scared

Hi
Im female. A little over 6 weeks ago I was hanging out with an ex who i thought i could trust...we were eating watching tv etc...
then he fingered me for about 30 seconds kinda rough..
then wanted to have sex but i said no because i am still a virgin, then he pressed the tip of his penis (no condom) up against my labia  for about 3-5 seconds and i freaked out.
so he took me to his room and turned me around said he was just going to ejaculate on me..but instead he initiated anal sex on me (basically assault) I started screaming and he stopped but it went in like twice..maybe 3 idk it felt like a lifetime. I am so naive and stupid...but wed dated on and off for 2 years.
He claimed he thought i felt him position himself and thought i was onboard, I cried my eyes out. I was devastated...and he apologized over and over. Obviously im not going near him ever again. Im so angry i cant even ask him if he used a condom but i'm pretty sure he did not.

I dont trust his past sexual exposure, he is much older than me...this was my first sexual exposure/risk to an std. Tomorow i am going to get a check up down there for the first time ever.

The worst part is that i bled :( i had multiple spots of blood when i got home.
for the following week
1.i had a dirty, yeast infection feeling in my vagina. Just a "different" unclean feeling
2.i remember seeing yellow-greenish discharge on a couple days...
3.I felt irritated/sore tingly feelings on my vagina for exactly six days after that night.
4.the last night, the tingling was very strong briefly like an crawling/electrical curent allover but with localized drilling sensation inside my vagina, then suddenlly it stopped and never continued.
5.My anus felt obviously sore, then itchy.

after two weeks i started washing vigourously with feminine wash and that caused burning everywhere so i stopped. 3 weeks after the incident i started taking cranberry+probiotics pills  and yogurt. My symtoms went away since then but.ive been depressed and filled with anxiety. Im going to my health care center oncampus tomorow or wed. I havnt had any sores or blisters.. ive looked everyday. I dont feel sick either. could i have herpes? am i high risk for every std..:(

I would request full testing for STDs. The exposure is probably very low with no ejaculation and insufficient rubbing to transfer viruses. In all likelihood you have dodged the bullets, but get the testing for peace of mind.

You can ask for IgG antibody testing type specific for HSV1 and HSV2 but you will need to repeat this 12 weeks after the exposure.

At 7 weeks up to 80% of people have seroconverted and test positive so a very good sign.

The test must be IgG to have validity. Carefully examine the results.

Hi again, today i went in for the full tests including herpes, but i tried desperately to remember what type you recommended.. but since i was so desperate i accepted it. didn't want to prolong my results. On one page it said igm..or igg? (I JUST KNOW IT WAS 3 LETTERS) i also saw that it said: "Type I & Type II" by it.Then i signed a different paper that said "western blot", that one may have been the hep-C. Well i guess il figure out later.
The herpes and the hep C ones were not covered by my plan so i was told i had to pay, but they didnt give me a price either :/
Im going to have my ex pay it either way.If anyone would have an std it would be him, so ive been reassuring myself that if i have an std(s) its ok. So..I guess i would be more surprised if i didnt :/

Anyways Today would be the 7 week mark. I am going back in on Wednesday to see results. Do you think @ the 7 week mark, i could have a negative score (for herpes) that would be a conclusive range? or does that depend on too many things?

thanks:>

The crawling feeling is usually limited to the small areas where a lesion appears shortly after. With no sores appearing, the tingling is most probably something else entirely. 'Tingling' is a very vague term and is often interpreted too broadly when attempting to associate with herpes.

thankyou for the tips and helping me feel better...although i know something is wrong/different...and the reason why i think its herpes is because of the ominous crawling feeling that felt like an electrical current/drill. It was allover vaginal area/anus but there was a localized feeling in the front part of my vagina. This was on the 6th day after exposure. Do you think that is a telling sign of infection? i cant find anything that could say otherwise. :/ im trying to ease myself into the diagnosis...i cant see it being anything else because of the fact that it affects the nervous system. what do you think should i realize its a possibility because of this fact?
thanks again
