No, there's nothing there that resembles herpes.  What made you think you might have herpes?

It was blisters on my vagina lip. Then the bump on my butt. I took it while I was drinking so it's not a very good pic but it's blisters

Yes, I got the blister a week ago but when it healed referring to the last pic it doesn't look like I have a crusted over scab or anything like that I was also using hydrogen peroxide, Lysol, and, vinegar on my vagina

Have the blister swabbed.  You should wait for a few months before blood testing to get an accurate antibody reading.

It does look like herpes doesn't it?

You said it healed so how could there be anything there that looks like herpes. So no, I don't see anything that looks like herpes. I'm accepting that you did have a blister based on what you said.

Keep an eye on it. If you get any sores, see a doctor. Your doctor can probably decide whether it's worth swabbing.

An OB often occurs within a week after infection although it can happen later.

Good. Stay in touch and ask questions.  By the way, most people with hsv go on to have relationships. It just gets a bit trickier.

It's folliculitis on inner leg and butt. 

Vagina looks normal unless you want to tell us about symptoms.

If you think he is extremely high-risk go get an STD panel in three months from sex, understand that herpes 1 / 2 will not be on there.

ETA: blisters will be watery. They will not have the straw colored fighter cell response.

Really depends and everyone is different. 2-14 av. days and two is if it is barely starting to turn raw.

Eta: I don't see the area as HSV (kind of at the tip of her finger). I would want a redish discolored background and it would need to be painful to the touch. Where she has pain is where she needs swabbed, but she said it was not painful and it did not crust over which is not typical of hsv

A regular swab would be a hit or miss. They did a hole punch on me which still did not get the virus to grow. A PCR is so much more sensitive and the way to go.

They would need to swab right away if one had symptoms that they wanted checked. Can't really depend on a doctor to allow us to choose the test.

Can they swab if no blister is there?

      @WilsoInAus i requested my partner, but they are refusing from testing and saying they dint had any symptoms. Now the only way i left is to wait untill 12 weeks window period right? I am not getting what to do in this case. Any suggestion for any other tests?

      SUCCESS STORY: Herpes is an opportunity to built trust and connection through vulnerability.

      By CHT · Posted

      Hi "Jeremy"..... I agree, the topic of your HSV status does not need to be something you disclose too soon in a developing relationship..... get to know each other first....see how it's going and as it progresses, then the HSV issue will naturally need to be revealed.... it's my personal opinion though that before there is any sexual encounter you ought to disclose your HSV status.... I know some will disagree with me on this but, I think it is morally wrong not to disclose first.  This can be a make/break situation for most people but, again, I feel it is simply wrong not to give the other person the whole story since your decision not to disclose could put their health at risk.... that is simply not an option in my opinion.  Looking back to my "pre-HSV" life I most certainly would want my partner to disclose their HSV+ status before intimacy so that I could make my decision as to whether I want to take that risk or not....

      By Jeremy Spokein · Posted

      Thanks, CHT. I appreciate the feedback. The whole trauma of going through this has led me to figure out a lot about myself and my attachment wounds, so I'm taking courses to come out of this better. This girl really was my dream woman in so many ways, it's been the hardest heartbreak to deal with ever. I'm truly in a lot of pain, but using the pain as fuel to launch that new business and work with coaches. I also opened up to my family about HSV, so my parents and sister know now, and they were very loving and accepting of it. Since opening up about it, I feel way better around this thing. After opening up, I also found out that some mutual friends in our family have discordant couples who are married with children, so HSV hasn't stopped them from living a loving life. The thing is... all of these couples I mention did not disclose until 6-8 months into the relationship. So now I'm thinking it might be better not to disclose until I know things are very serious. I'll of course stay on the medication and use protection, but maybe this is a better route than disclosing upfront and scaring women off.

      Could this be hsv-2?

      By WilsoInAus · Posted

      Hey @Lcj987 and welcome to the website. You can be sure that isn't HSV-2, looks nothing like it. It is much more likely to be folliculitis or inflamed fordyce spots.
