Q: Could I have genital herpes?

So a few weeks ago, I was diagnosed with a UTI. I took the medications I was given and was better within a week. Then 3 nights ago, I had to go to the ER because the pain I was having down there was so severe. Around my vagina was very sore and slightly swollen, and it was painful to urinate. Not in the same way as a UTI, but it hurt in another way. The doctor told me I had bacterial vaginosis (BV) and gave me antibiotics to take for that. The burning continued so I took some pyridium from when I had the UTI, and it didn't help. Today, I noticed a small white sore by the top of my clitoris. It's very sore and hard feeling. I only have that one sore that I can see. I hadn't thought of it until a while ago, but my boyfriend had one or two cold sores on his top lip, and had his mouth down there for just a few seconds but I made him stop.. That was on Saturday, so it has almost been 1 week. I'm worried that I might have it.. Could I?

You could if your boyfriend has herpes and was shedding when you had sex. Did he disclose it to you? He should have. If he didn't, check out this website: http://stdlawsuit.com/do-i-have-a-case/.
