I am a 23 year old female and recently had sex with a stranger
at a party. Now I have broken out with painful sores on the outside of my
vagina. How do I know if this is herpes?
In most cases, an astute physician can make a diagnosis of
herpes by the history and physical exam. However, when you go for the physical,
the doctor may obtain scrapings and send them to the lab to confirm that this
is herpes. There are not many infections that present like herpes and in many
cases, the lab test is not done. Herpes is the only STD that presents with
painful vesicles (blisters).
