I think I have herpes after making a bad sexual decision

Sexual health

I know I will be judged but here goes.

Around 1 AM on Sunday I went to a strip club. My boyfriend paid for a private lapdance and I accepted. While the stripper was dancing on me she startrd touching me sexually on my breasts and other places. I have also been curious but had never been with a woman - alcohol made me push through instead of being wise. We had unprotected genital to genital contact.

My bf and I later had sex where he also went down on me.

I was filled with shame as soon as I sobered up and then worry. I immediately became afraid for herpes because of her line of work.

About 40 hours after exposure to her, I noted I had what seemed likr a red bruise on the fleshy part of my vagina just above the opening. It reminds me of a hickey and doesn't itch or burn. Is this likely herpes?

I have a photo which I could inbox to anyone who wants to see in order to help.

40 hours would be the low end of the window for on exposure to symptoms so I'm inclined to say it is not herpes.  It would most likely be painful also.  If you want to send the pic I will look at it but if you are really concerned call your OB and get in for an appointment.

Thank you so much for being kind enough to answer.

I will post the photo here. I didn't realize that photos could be posted. I have cropped out as much of my vagina as possible so as to not offend.

I am not sure if it is a bruise from the sex I had with my bf soon after. Between the panic, guilt and shame I'm not thinking straight.

Also the reason why I haven't gone to the OBGYN is that I am worried to take a swab on something that isn't leaking and get a false negative. I will much rather wait the 16 weeks and then take a blood test which would be more accurate. If I develop sores which start the weep I will head straight to the doc as the liklihood of a false negative should be less.

Sorry for rambling. Here is the photo.

Thank you so much for being kind enough to respond.

Do you think it looks more like a bruise than a rash then?
