STDS

[Babygirl1969]

just wondering if it was at all possible to have an STD and not had any symptoms or known you had this for a period of 13 years...i ask this cause like i asked in my last question i have been getting these vaginal sores but the last person that i had sex with was 13 years ago so would it just be showing up now.

You said you haven't had sex.  Have you had anyone perform oral sex lately?  Im asking because herpes can be transferred through oral sex (if the person gets cold sores) as well as intercourse.  

"More importantly, when oral herpes lesions and/or its contents come into direct contact with the genital area through oral-genital sex, genital herpes most likely will develop."

I found one website that states different reasons you can have sores that are not STD related.   (yeast, contact dermatitis, infected hair follicle)

I hope what you have isn't an std but if it turns out to be something like herpes, theres always medicine that can help it from reoccuring.  

Good luck
