Hello again,

With the number of Sex partners, protected or not, you need to be rescreened.  Even people who only have a few sex partners will also need to be screened atleast once a year.  With Herpes, symptoms would more than likely occur anywhere between 2 to 20 days after infection and some symptoms of herpes are a burning sensation, fluid-filled vesicles that rupture and form painful ulcers and also painful urination.  These sores would heal in a few days.  In your case, if you had just shaved that region, there's a good chance that you could have inflamed that tissue.  You could also have something like an ingrown hair.  Just wait a few days and if the symptoms worsen or more symptoms appear then go see your doctor.

Sounds like folliculitis to me that can happen when you shave the pubic hairs..... It can burn and get real irritated.. Again I am no Dr but if it dosent clear up get cked... And always remember be safe when having sex...
