Dr. Lauren Bickel answered

Virus unlikely: It would be unlikely for a sexually transmitted virus to appear so soon after intercourse, & what you describe sounds more like possibly a skin sensitivity to something that is in contact with that area of your body. Most likely would not affect your nursing baby.
