Q: I have severe itching in the pubic area with tiny clusters of spots my partner has been unfaithful

He has slept with an indonesian prostitute and was tested for all the std's but there was no mention of herpes test.  Could I have warts or genital herpes.  They seem to clear for a while and then come back.  My life is very stressed at the moment could it be due to stress?

Get tested for herpes with an IgG and IgM.  I also recommend getting an HIV test several times during the next year and a half - since the incubation period could take a while for HIV to show up.
