could this be herpes?
I am very concerned..
I had unprotected sex with my Ex-Fiance on Saturday evening (stupid move). On Sunday I noticed that I was feeling very sore in my perianal area and I had an increased amount of discharge from my vagina. I did not shower all day on Sunday and was busy moving and cleaning in very hot weather and was sweating quite a bit. That evening when I showered I felt like I had many sore blisters on my buttocks and just assumed they were from all of the sweating.
Monday morning I woke up and hurt all over, again, I attributed it to the hard labor from the day before. On Monday evening I developed a fever of 100. Tuesday I again felt very sore and achy all over and the fever had not lifted. But again, I did not shower that morning and spent the rest of the day working to move and clean my old house.
When I was finished on Tuesday night and in the shower I noticed that the pain had increased in my anal and vaginal areas, and I noticed three raised bumps on either vaginal lip (external). They are very painful and hard and look and feel a lot like ingrown hairs (which I have had plenty of times in the past). They are not in clusters but seem to be evenly spaced down the vaginal lips. Again, there has been some excess discharge and the pain is present when sitting or rubbing from walking. Today has been the worst day and my body aches and fever continue (now up to 101 without the use of NSAIDS).
I am very scared that I have contracted herpes. I have been with only one partner in 3 and half years. However, our relationship ended because he cheated on me with another woman and he is unsure of her sexual history. He claims he has not had any problems and never went to get tested so our relationship has ended. Unfortunately I made the mistake of sleeping with him one last time and did not use a condom against my better judgement.
Does this sound like herpes? I have researched this very much and the blisters do not look watery and they are not oozing nor have any of them broken open. I know I should go get tested but I am just so scared and alone and I do not know what to do.
Thank you.

typically herpes is not a part of routine std testing so check to see if indeed you were ever tested. also pap tests are not adequate std testing either. The brands that do check for std's only check for gonorrhea and chlamydia.
still go and be seen for your symptoms you have now though.

yes, I covered all of my bases prior to getting into the 3+ year relationship with my ex (the one I had unprotected sex with on Saturday). I have also been tested previously for all of those things (about 5 years ago I had PID which was NOT a result of chlamydia or gonorrhea).. and I have regular pap exams, etc. (my last one was about 9 months ago).
you really need to go and be seen today or tomorrow. get tested for yeast and bacterial infections and also anything they see can be swabbed for herpes. odds are you have never been tested for herpes before either so a baseline herpes igg blood test is not a bad idea either while you are there.
You can get tested for gonorrhea and chlamydia 1 week post encounter. syphilis 6 weeks post encounter. herpes and hiv 3 months post encounter to cover all your bases from this recent unprotected sex encounter. did you ever cover your bases after your other partner?
