im so nervous that i have herpes

[liv619]

ok so ive been noticing that i have little blisters where i shave most of my pubic hair. I thought they were from razer burn but they wont go away. Ive been reading about stds and the description of herpes freaked me out. You dont even need to have sex to get herpes and the bumps u can get sound like the ones i have. They never scab over and fall off though which i dont understand and they dont hurt. i popped one and the inside of it resembled a zit popping. i have 5 or 6 noticable ones about the size of a dulled pencil led tip. i cant tell but i think when i popped one two more appeared next to it soon after. my ex friend found out she had herpes about 6 months ago. When we were still friends though i remember getting REALLY drunk one time in our old apartment, randomly getting naked and dancing with her and a few of my friends. Her naked girl parts rubbed up against my shaved pubic area but we never made any genital contact. I didnt have any open cuts or anything to my knowledge from shaving altho it was fresh. ive always gotten occasional zits where i shave and my skin is very sensitive so im not sure what the hell is going on with me. i also ate her out which is super embarressing to admit because i was so wasted. I never get cold sores though and i only get kancor sores(sorry for the spelling) when i eat anything with too much acid in it like pinapples or oranges. ive never been tested before and ive slept with two people unprotected. the first time i had sex was almost a year ago and i was exposed to herpes to my knowledge around 6 months ago. My ex boyfriend im not sure was ever tested and My current boyfriend was a virgin when we met. im sooooo scared im going to have to tell him about this. i just want everything to be ok. i may have made the biggest mistake of my life and it was all because my judgement went out the window with the consumption of alcohol. i knew she had herpes and i thought i would be safe as long as she didnt have an outbreak. everything looked and felt normal around her v-zone and i know u can get herpes even if there are no visible signs of an outbreak. please, can any one give me any answers or advice? im getting tested as soon as possible and im so scared :(

this doesn't sound like herpes going on. take a couple of deep breaths :)

I recommend no more shaving and no sex until you've been seen and had a proper exam done though.  sounds like you have a bacterial skin infection going on  and it should be examined and properly diagnosed.  

toss the razor you use too and get a fresh one. you don't want bacteria on the razor being transmitted to other body parts.
