The reason as to why I have freaked out about this is because two days after the original encounter Feb 16th 2019 my vagina area started to feel like pins and needles, it moved throughout my entire body but mostly in that area...it has never left in almost 5 years now, my throat also started hurting, it also felt generally uncomfortable down there like a yeast infection so I went and saw my first Dr. about it she tested me for yeast which came back positive. She encouraged me that my encounter possessed no risk for genital herpes. A week later my night marrer officially started, a pimple showed up down there on my labia and turned into an ulcer which later healed in two days after I applied salt directly to it. I knew if I wanted an accurate blood test I'd need to wait and I already missed the 48 hr culture swab accuracy time frame. 3 months later my vaginal area blew up with blood blisters, I went to my OBGYN and she said that I could have brought the virus down with my hand or that I created this all in my head. That killed me. She swabbed and cultured the blood blisters hours after I discovered them. They ulcerated and healed with no scabbing. The culture came back negative and she let me go with no diagnosis as she and the other drs in the office just found the entire thing odd as there number as usually in the 20s and honestly they all felt bad for me. She offered me a blood test but I was in the middle of college and a diagnosis like that would have killed me and looking back i don't regret it (you got HSV2 genitally from biting your nails and then touching yourself to shave even though you have never had sex: that is insane and completely unfair to say the least) A month later I started getting weird inflamed taste buds on my tongue, that look very herpetic to me, that I have never had before and then I finally got my first and only cold sore the next month (that would be 4 months after the original encounter). (the original man had cold sores hsv1 and I always assumed I did too as both my parents get them). Two years later the same pimple-like thing appeared in the same place and then a year later again another simple like thing in the same place each time getting smaller and smaller the pines and needles sensation go down as well over the years. So that's a total of 3 small pimples and one blood blister blow out over the course of 5 years. That to me checks out as HSV1 however I still don't want to believe that I transfer the virus myself I have no idea how I would have done that I don't even masterbate and I never shave down there. More reason for me to freak out.
