I’ll back- track a bit, I (f) started dating my bf about 9 months ago. We’ve know each other for a very long time. We’ve both had other partners before we got together. He told me he gets cold sores on his mouth from time to time. He’s only had 1 or 2 since we’ve been together. He usually takes valtrex on the regular to also help with an unrelated skin condition he has. He stopped taking this medication some time ago and hasn’t had any issues. We were last intimate a few weeks ago (unprotected). He had no signs of an outbreak at the time.

Fast forward to earlier this week. I bought a scented toilet paper, not thinking anything of it at the time. A couple of days ago, I noticed some tenderness on part of my labia majora. Then I noticed a sore. Today, I noticed multiple sores. I went to urgent care. The doctor said they are blisters and poked one with a needle to get a sample of fluid for testing. Said it looks like HSV. I have never had an issue like this before. Now I have a prescription for valtrex and have to wait a few days before results come in to know for sure.

Struggling to process, feeling humiliated and dirty. I’m worried he might think I was unfaithful because of how long it had been since he & I were last intimate together.

TL; DR: thought scented tp caused sores on my labia, turns out, might actually be HSV
