Question:

I have only had unprotected oral w/ my partner (i am a virgin, he has only slept w/ 2 other virgins and one who slept w/ one other, always using protection). I overreact, but i noticed a bunch of red rashy bumps in 2 small patches on my bikini line. i think this may be from shaving w/ a dull razor, but they have been itchy and irritated. do you think this could be herpes? it has bee irritated for a little over 2 weeks now?

Hey,
I don''t think you should worry jsut yet. I also shave and I do have hpv. But in the years that I've been shaving I've found that sometimes your skin can just get so irritated that it stay that way for a while. To be completely sure go get a pap. HPV can be transmitted through oral sex so it could be smart to get check just incase. But I personally think you have nothing to worry about.
