My boyfriend of one month and I just recently started to have sex. I just found out that he has been sexually active recently with many women, but he got tested and checked out and he told me he is ok. We have had oral sex and there is nothing on my mouth, and I have had the HPV shots and we always use protection.
However, I have been having itching and I saw I have a few bumps that I am not sure were there to begin with along the outside of my vagina. Could this be something?
Herpes can lie dormant in your system without any signs for years. If you have always used protection with your boyfriend then he didnt spread it to you unless he had the herpes by the mouth. I would suggest that you go have the blood work done that test for herpes, you may or may not have it and just didnt know about it... Itchy is the first signs it itches really really bad... It could just be a yeast infection.... Does HPV shots prevents you from getting herpes???
