Herpes? Yeast infection? I'M SO CONFUSED!!
I took 3 of my friend's birthcontrol pills at once (since i'm not on it) and 5 IB profines every couple hours because i read that this combination would make your period temporarily stop because my boyfriend was coming in town.
We had sex in a bathtub and continued to that whole week. It stung when i peed and i had to pee CONSTANTLY and i had horrible cramps i also had the urge to pass gas constanttlyy all that week.
I constantly was taking meds for my cold, and drinking coffees, beers and eating sweets breads, pastas, etc. things with yeast.
Towards the end of the week it started to be a little sore when we would have sex so we used lube and that day i saw a couple bumps on my vagina opening and throughout the next 2 days i got a couple more (they all look like pimples)
I thought of it possibly being herpes but
1. he's been tested RECENTLY and doesn't have it
2. Since we assumed the bumps were razor burn, he had unprotected sex with me WHILE i had the bumps and he's had nothing come up for him.
3. after having sex with the bumps, within a few minutes i gave him head (not to be gross, but i could taste myself) so if i had herpes in my vagina wouldn't i have then transfered it to my mouth too?
I read online that water sex gives you UTI's, so i thought it could be from that and turned into a yeast infection or from the lube OR i was thinking all those birthcontrols threw my hormones out of whack plus all the meds and plus having sex in the water and eating alllll these things that make yeast infections worse?? Since the bumps could be candida?
I went to planned parenthood and the first thing the nurse said when i opened my legs is "oh poor honey, you have herpes." I got angry with her for saying such a life changing thing without testing and made her take a yeast infection test even though she REFUSED to saying "NO you have herpes." The yeast infection test did infact come out positive. She then took a sample and said i'd have my herpes results in a week and wrote me a herpes presrciption and yeast prescription. i have only been taking the yeast prescription and it seems to be healing up a bit already after one day.
I am POSITIVE my boyfriend does not have herpes (saw his tests) and i have not had sex with anyone else in a year, so if it were from a year ago it probably wouldnt pop up the week him and i had sex unless i got it from him right? But the nurse telling me it's herpes and the bumps are scaring me. Does this sound like herpes or a bad yeast infection? I am so confused/scared, Thanks so much for your help!!

chicken pox is not herpes simplex virus which is the cause of genital and oral herpes.
herpes antivirals will do nothing for a yeast infection.
you absolutely can not tell this person that indeed they have herpes from the information that was posted. please don't scare posters needlessly :(

have you ever been tested for herpes to know your own status?
did your partner have type specific herpes igg blood testing to know his status when he had his testing done?
you should never, ever have sex when you have anything going on down yonder.! it just prolongs healing as well as makes you more vulnerable to further infection.
no reason to take the herpes antivirals at this point. if this is herpes, it's already almost healed so no reason to take them.
at this point, wait for your test results to come back and go from there.

He might have it already, or he might be one of the lucky few that are asymptomatic. Or he might have an outbreak later. There are lots of variables here.
Just because you had vaginal and oral sex doesn't mean you're going to get in both places. If your vagina already had some truama - such as a yeast infection, or a lot of irritation from sex - it can be more succeptable to catching the virus. Or, if you already had it in your system, this kind of trauma could trigger an outbreak.
There's really no way to know until your test results come back...yes, it sounds like it could possibly be herpes. And yes, that's suckie news that makes you want to consider every other possible explanation first. I think all of us that have experienced this have gone through the same. In the meantime, take the anti-virals you received, there's no harm in taking them if you don't have herpes, and if you do it will help.

Also he has no signs of ANYTHING downstairs OR in his mouth orr other symptomes and i have nothing on my mouth even though we had sex while i had the bumps, including oral sex directly after sex so wouldn't it then transfer to my mouth as well as his? Wouldn't he have it in his mouth and/or on his penis atleast if it were herpes?
