![]() Of course I cannot guarantee that you don't have genital herpes. Onset can be as late as 3 weeks, but that's uncommon 3-10 days is typical. 4) Yes, in addition to all the other reasons the problem isn't herpes, the onset was a bit late. That's because the virus has to be "massaged" into the tissues in order for infection to occur. And that is generally where the greatest friction occurs during sex. In both men and women, the initial symptoms usually are at the site of inoculation of the virus. 2) That would be a very rare location for the first episode, as I said above. Bites sound possible, but I have no opinion about that or other causes. To the specific questions: 1) I strongly doubt herpes. You already seem to understand that the usual appearance is one of clustered vesicles (blister-like lesions). Herpes also doesn't typically cause anything like "reddish circular bumps". Although recurrent herpes indeed can occur anywhere in the "boxer shorts" area, the initial infection in women almost always involves the vaginal opening, labia, or anal area. Would 13 days be a little late or uncommon to show outbreaks? I have read 2-12 daysīased on your description, herpes is extremely unlikely, if not impossible. Where do most initial outbreaks occur for females? 4. Hunter Handsfield that initial herpes outbreaks in males usually occur on the penis. I know that a herpes outbreak can occur anywhere over the body, but how common is it to occur in the location that I decribed for a female(in the back of the thigh, right where the "boxer short" area ends) ? 3. Do you think this is genital herpes? Or do you think it is more likely to be insect bites? 2. This is why I suspect that they are only insect bites as well as the location of the "lesions" 1. The day before I noticed the 2 "bites," I went to a park with my dog and sat on the grass for about an hour where I could see several insects and ants. They are just very red, circular, and look like an irritated raised red bumb that an insect bite might leave. They do NOT appear to have any vesicle or blister like appearance nor appear to be fluid filled. They are about 1/4" - 1/3" inch in diameter. The two reddish circilar bumps are close to each other. Exactly 13 days after this exposure I developed 2 reddish circular looking "insect bites" on the back of my thigh, right where the "boxer short" area ends (so about midway down the back of my thigh). ![]() I had unprotected vaginal sex with a guy about 3 weeks ago. I can see that it informs several people about the TRUTH of stds.
