I'm getting pretty paranoid...
So after having protected sex with this girl I've started to feel extremely paranoid after finding out this other girl that i was about to sleep with has herpes. She didn't seem like she had anything to be honest and i didnt see anything unusual about her either but many people have something and they don't even know it. Anyways I've started to notice things i didn't fully notice before and started paying attention more to my body and just getting very damn paranoid if i caught anything. So uh... yeah. Am i just being paranoid? It's been like a month I'm pretty sure and i felt perfectly fine after having sex with the girl, but weeks later i was talking to this other girl and she told me she had herpes. That's when i really started to get paranoid and pay more attention to things. I noticed by the Frenulum or whatever like th glans are. Right under that i noticed a cluster of like small dots/bumps. They don't hurt when i touch them or anything but i swear they were there before, but then again i feel like there are more of them now... I think they are fordyce spots though.
Also I'm 19. And I'm pretty sure that the girl only had sex 1 other time when she had a bf.
I'm most likely going to get tested just in case. I'm getting a full blood work on Monday. Not sure if that will show anything, but i will get an std test after that just to make sure.
I don't know how old you are - and you know I think you're going to be fine after reading about your encounter - but I feel the need to tell you something after reading your last post:
Do not ever trust anyone who says they have been tested and do not have STDs. Assume they all do - I'm not just saying that. People lie. Some people don't realize they have never had a herpes test. Keep protecting yourself until you meet someone who thinks you're important enough to go testing with together. The majority of folks who carry genital HSV2 don't know they have it. That's a fact. It's also the most common STD on the planet - by far. Another fact.
Please don't forget that last part. Take care.

Okay well i texted her and she said she doesn't have any stds. I'm feeling a lot better now. I didn't think she had any either.
Thank you for the reply. Yeah I wouldn't doubt people being very paranoid when going on forums such as these. I only started to get paranoid after that other girl told me she had herpes. I realized that sex is pretty damn scary and i started to pay more attention to my body and what i feel and what not. The girl that i had sex with barely gave me oral sex. I don't really recall but we just went into vaginal sex, and she didn't fully give me oral you know what i mean? I did use a condom and its been probably close to a month or so and i don't have any real signs of what I've been reading on these forums. Only thing i noticed is the small little spots which really look like skin and doesn't seem to be like pimples or anything like that. I know for a fact that theres more now then before. Maybe its due to the fact that I've been masturbating quite a lot and very frequently but I'm going to stop. Also its spring and allergies are really kicking in for me.
The thing about this board is that most people come here a little paranoid and looking for some answers. No one here can dianose you or clear you of HSV.
If you notice things that don't seem right, maybe they aren't right and you should get checked. Most likely though, what you are now noticing has been a part of your body throughout your life that you just never paid attention to before. That's almost always the case until you find yourself with a very pronounced itch or pain. And then, it will definitely be time to think about testing.
Only having sex once, the odds are slim that you would have contracted anyway, so try to keep that in mind. Also, many if not all vaginas smell pretty bad some of the time. That's just a fact.
Lastly, people can be nasty. Just because one person or a group of people say someone has a virus doesn't mean they actually do.
Take care.

Also peeing isn't painful and i havn't seen any rashes or blisters anywhere on my body. I just kinda pay more attention to like tingling and a bit of itching and what not. I've had sex only once. Only thing that i noticed was that her vagina smelled pretty bad.
