I think I have herpes
Hey I’m a girl! I have a friend who’s really close to me who has herpes. She didn’t tell me. I recently found out about a month ago. And ever since I found out I feel like I got it. I was so paronoid and still am. I’d wash my genitals with soap. Touch it often to see if I got it. She always holds my hand which makes me think I got it. I get goosebump looking pimples on my arms and forehead. I have a white pimple in my vulva just one. It’s not itchy at all. I didn’t even notice I had it till I searched. I don’t have a stingy feeling when peeing. But my body does feel itchy when I think about it. Is it possible I got herpes by her touching my hand and then me using the washroom and touching my genital area without washing my hands? I don’t share clothes with her nor food.
Also can you get genital herpes from sharing jeans?
