do i have herpes

About 11 years ago i was molested by i think he was 14 or 15 year old i was 8 or 9 at the time and i think he gave me genital herpes.The reason i say this is because i realized for years i get itchy bumps or blisters on my right labia .i thought it was just a yeast infection so i did worry about it. but now i'm worried it could be more than just a yest infection. not to long ago i went to a clinic and she checked me but at the time i did not have the bumps so she couldn't do much but swipe some discharge from my vagina and said it was a yest infection and gave me 2 pills, but it didn't help because right now i have the bumps on my labia again. they usually just itch no burn no tingling no popping and chancre no crust .just itchy bumps/blisters and then they go away. i'm concern because like herpes they pop up in the same spot every time. i'm a virgin I've never even kiss a person. so could this be herpes or am i just going crazy .also my glands in my groin swell and i feel pressure in pelvic area sometimes.is it something else i've been doing research and they all pretty much say i have herpes .i'm really worried that i may never have a relationship with some because of it or i may never have sex because im a lesbian so if i have herpes nope no sex for me. i would hate to give someone the virus.
symptoms:
itchy bump/blister on labia
pressure in pelvic area
swollen glands

thank you for your help! i really appreciate it. And if it is only 3 itchy bump/blisters it could be a conic case of inflamed hair folicles because aren't herpes a cluster of blisters?

Hi, the only way to know is to have the sores swabbed within 48 hours. Its not a big deal. In retrospect, i personally dont think a 14 year old boy would have genital herpes. He might have oral hsv1 from childhood and could pass it to a genital area from oral sex.
The only thing that may suspect herpes is that it breaks out in the same spot but also it might be just a cronic case of inflamed hair folicles. Back up the swab with a blood test to cover all the bases.
Best of luck
