Aching burning vagina, herpes ?
I know I already carry the herpes simplex 1 virus which can give me cold sores on my mouth. I got that years ago and I never get cold sores. Anyhow, this is what happened to me ... I shared a drink with my friend and then later that evening she told me she had a cold sore and didn't realize it when she shared the drink with me. For the next few days it felt like my lips were a little tingly and possibly a little red in areas (very hard to notice.. My boyfriend/friends said they couldn't even see anything) I didn't kiss or have sex for several days just in case.. I didn't want to infect my boyfriend. After a few days of applying lip balm and tea tree oil to my lips to avoid the pop up of a possible sore... I thought to myself, 'I'm being paranoid, there is nothing noticeably wrong with my lips' .. And my boyfriend continued to say he didn't see anything so we had sex... Kissed. No oral sex. But he did kiss me then use his saliva on my vagina. After the sex I checked out my lip and there was a tiny cut on it. The next day the cut was gone. Since that encounter my vagina has been burning on and off, and it burns when I pee. And my vagina aches on and off. This has been going on for 5 weeks now. I've been tested for all other stds and a uti. All clear. Oh and I forgot to mention that some time in the past 5 weeks I got flu-y feeling for about 4 days and one morning I woke up with a very itchy spot on the outter part of my vagina.. I itched it then checked it out with w mirror once I got out of bed. It looked like a tiny red spot but no longer itched or hurt. And healed within 2 days. I'm still dealing with the burning vagina/pee and slight inflammation. It's also not yeast. Just curious if anyone thinks I could have transferred herpes from my mouth to my genitals. The doc says that is unlikely and i would notice blisters. But I'm paranoid and would like to hear some of your opinions. Thanks.
I am just started experiencing all of this discomfort right after that encounter and there doesn't seem to be another reason for it.
I'm worried that my friend I shared my drink with has hsv 2 and that I would have transferred that to my genitals because my immune system wouldn't have prepared for that ... You know ? But I want to mention again that I never got a noticeable cold sore after sharing the drink with her. Just minuscule things that I thought may have been a cold sore.
Hi when a person has one type of hsv they are basicly immune to contracting it in another area so this is no concern that you passed it your genitals
