is this herpes?

Hi, ive had blisters on my inner labia on the sides and on my vagina for a month now. They have not gone away or turned into ulcers. I itch here and there, and sometimes there's discomfort. Both of the people ive only slept with have recently been tested and say they are negative for herpes.

I wouldn't take anyone's word that they're negative for herpes unless you see the paper test results. HSV is not on the standard STD testing panel - you have to ask for it.

I highly encourage you to have your symptoms looked at by a gynecologist.

Highly unusual for herpes lesions to remain static. They have quite a fast moving cycle of appearance, blistering and resolving. Hence a month is an unusual presentation thus indicative of something else.

See a doctor for swabbing and a blood test from 12 weeks post last exposure. Unless your partners have negative IgG for HSV1 and HSV2, then they aren't clear of herpes.
