ive been kind of paranoid for the past few weeks.
im eighteen and about two or three months ago i had sex with one of my friends from nursing school. we used a condom for most of it but for about 10-20 seconds he took it off and continued some. this is the only time ive ever had unprotected sex.
the thing is, i didnt really know his past history. i know he is really sexually-active, but as soon as my paranoia started, i talked to his best friend about it and he said as far as he knows, his friend is clean.
but ive still been pretty worried. a few days ago i started being a little itchy in my vaginal area. i had a tiny bit of white, odorless discharge. i woke up this morning and the itching was unbearable. it was also very red and swollen. i used some miconazole cream and its helped the itching calm down since then. i have no visible sores or anything. the itching is right around the vaginal opening. lately my legs have been itching too, but ive related that to dry skin combined with shaving, since its the winter and all. but im still really worried. :/
my mom is picking up some yeast infection medicine later on today, so ill see if that works.
one more thing, ive been on birth control for about a month and i hear that can cause yeast infections?
but im just wondering if i have any risk of herpes or any other STD of that sort. i would go get tested but i dont know how expensive it is for an std test. im kind of low on my own money right now, and im afraid to tell my mom about it.
any advice?
