Is this an STD?

Been sleeping with the same person for 4mths, we have both had STD screening but I believe standard STD screens don’t check for herpes?

Went away for 3 days last weekend and had a lot of sex, lasting up to hours each time and quite rough and this rash has come up, I also shave.

hi, it resembles a cluster of herpes. What are you current symptoms and how long have you had them ?

hey girl, i would definitely get that checked. Those clusters are serious.

It’s been about 4 days, the pic is over my sexual partner, he had a pimple from shaving and after 3 days of intimacy he went like this. He said his skin is irritated and painful. He got a swab test but waiting results, I live rural and can’t get into a doctor yet. We’ve both had STD screening before but didn’t realise they don’t check for herpes :sob:

Awaiting partners results and stressing out :sob: I don’t have symptoms myself but we’ve been sleeping together for months and I slept with him just as this broke out :sob:

Has started to drastically improve with the use of canesten

yes some test dont cover all STD’s and have to be tested separately. Hopefully you get the results from your partner to ease the anxiety. are you lymph nodes swollen ? do you feel sick ? also is the bumps only located above your clitoris or are your breaking out more ?

Apologies the photo is of him, I don’t have any symptoms personally at all. Two tiny little bumps that appear to be shaving spots that I’d hardly notice if I wasn’t looking.

oohhh ok no worries lol. Well if you develop any pimples or bumps get tested as you cant really rely on his diagnosis.

I’m booked in for bloods :slight_smile: just wanted to ease my anxiety and also the doctor said the best testing they can do is on a cluster but luckily I don’t have any, he will get his results tomorrow :slight_smile:

yes the open sore swab is the best test. Blood test will only capture the antibodies . Hopefully you are negative as well as your partner.

Any updates?
