There I was in the bath at 3am googling my symptoms. I was shivering, vomiting, my legs ached and I was in excruciating pain from the cut I had in my vagina.
It all started with the age-old story. Girl meet boy that looks like GI Joe on Tinder. Girl and boy have drinks. Girl discovers boy has huge penis. Girl puts penis inside of her. Girl gets earth-shatteringly painful cut.
Jackie Lunn has a go at swiping people on Tinder for Jessie Stephens. Post continues after video.
Mirror in hand, I continued my vagina excavation until the early hours of the morning. I discovered I had two mouth ulcer looking things down there. This had me extremely concerned. Upon falling asleep I convinced myself that my cut was infected and maybe I had blood poisoning. There’s a new doctor in town, appointments on request.
I went to hospital the next day.
When the doctor told me I had herpes my Google nightmares and general nightmares came to life. I would have this virus FOREVER. I can’t commit to a relationship but this virus and I were walking down the aisle and saying our vows.
It was GI Joe from two weeks ago. I knew it!

Not only may GI Joe not have known, he may not even be the one responsible for the infection. You can be infected and it can lay dormant for a long time until a stressful event triggers it. I know of a case where the woman's husband infected her, but her first blister didn't occur until 12 months after their last intercourse.
