Herpes???! :(

Question

I'll start off by saying I'm only 16 and a virgin.
But a few weeks ago I had a thing with a guy and he gave me oral. I've never done anything before it was completely my first time doing anything sexual with anyone.. 
and I've discovered bumps on my genitals that look a LOT like herpes. I've done as much research as I can and it really really looks like I have it :(. I really don't know what to do, like do I tell someone, go to the doctor, should I tell him? I'm pretty scared about this and I don't know what to do, can someone give me some advice?? 😢

Answer

Go the doctors and get tested. If it comes back positive I'd tell the guy

Answer

Get tested asap, if they are sores the Dr needs the sores to be there so they can do a swab test on them. If you wait til the sores go away they can't accurately test

Answer

There's two types of herpes virus that cause genital herpes: HSV1 and HSV2. HSV1 is what causes cold sores. Yes, the cold sores that like 90% of people in the world have. So if he had a cold sore, even one healing, when you hooked up then it's very possible that it has now infected you genitally. In the same way you can get cold sores from kissing someone with it, he can spread it to your 🐱. Also, he most likely doesn't have genital herpes himself, because it's on his mouth.
Go to the doctor. They'll test the skin and see if it's HSV. If it is, there are meds that can prevent a future outbreak. HSV1 is pretty non-aggressive and you may never have another outbreak as long as you stay on the meds. However, there's a chance you can spread it sexually even if you're not experiencing an outbreak, so be open/honest with future partners and use protection if that's what this is.
Don't freak out girl you did nothing wrong! Just go see the doctor.

Answer

See a doctor ( you don't even need to go to the gynecologist, if you have a pediatrician/ doctor, they can check for you if you just ask ), if it comes out positive, have a talk with him about it... good luck, girlie.
