Not sure why my picture icon says I'm a man but im really a woman!
The story in the way it described happened about 5 months ago and I have not had a recorruence of it since, if that helps.
A few weeks (5 months) ago I had sex quite a few times with a stranger and there were occasions I was dry and the sex was frequent. I was extremely sore. I also developed a bacterial infection and when I checked the next day I noticed the base of my vagina was swollen and my discharge smelled bad. I went to the dr. And they diagnosed me with a bacterial UTI. When I went home this was perhaps a day or two after the sex and I noticed a cut not on my perineum but a little above it, on the edge of the entrance. It looked like a little cut/gash. I was kind of worried because I checked the area the day after sex and it wasn't there or I hadnt noticed it then, so I freaked out and immediately thought herpes as it showed up later. It didn't hurt and simply looked like a tiny gash. I am concerned because I usually get shallow perineum cuts after sex that heal in about 2 days. This however took about 4-5 days to heal and was closer to the softer tissue on the edge of the entrance. The posterior fourchette. It didn't hurt only when I went to the restroom and urine got on it. I'm not sure if bacterial vaginosis combined with the trauma from sex contributed to the cut/gash. I finished my antibiotics and both the chunky smelly discharge and cut dissapeared.
It was a clean linear cut where you could sort of see the white flesh underneath. I checked my groin nodes and they were not swollen during the presence of this cut.
Does this sound consistent with a first time outbreak of herpes?
How common is the presentation of genital herpes as papercuts?
Also people always talk about having antibodies to type 1 from coldsores mitigating or lessening symptoms of a subsequent contraction with type 2.
How does having type 1 orally lessen the symptoms of type 2 genitally? Do symptoms still appear clinically but just less severe?
I've gotten tested for all other stds after this incident but is a herpes test necessary given this info?
I appreciate the help, seriously!
