Burning Vagina
My boyfriend performed oral sex on me about 5 days ago. He only kissed my vagina one time but kissed my butt and the area around it a lot. He does have hsv-1 orally. At the time he did not have a cold sore or any symptoms of cold sores. he hasn't had one in a very long time. The day after him performing oral sex on me my vagina started burning and it has not stopped for 5 days. The pain is getting to me and I am scared I have herpes now. I have no bumps or blisters or anything of that sort. My vagina does not look any different at all. It just burns. It even burns in places he did not kiss. Does anyone know what this could be? Please help I am in pain and scared. Thanks
Greetings. First of all, try to calm down.
If your boyfriend had no obvious herpes blisters at the time of oral sex, the transmission risk is lower.
The fact you don't have any genital blisters makes is even less likely you got HSV-1 via oral sex.
The burning sensation is more probably due to anxiety or it may be an allergic reaction. As it was suggested, you may see a doctor, it is always a good idea. But I would wait for a few days.
You should understand that being scared or anxious will neither lower your risks nor improve your symptoms.
So, try to calm down and do some watchful wait for 2-3 days. If you develop any new symptoms or your burning gets stronger, go see a doctor immediately.

It was 10 years ago. Hopefully she sorted it haha
The first suggestion is to be patient. This is a completely volunteer forum. So we answer when we have time. Another suggestion is to see a doctor. At this point, you can't really rule herpes in or out based on burning alone. It is best to get tested and know your status.
