Questions: If you have a rash in or near the genital, buttock area or you have a known exposure to someone with this virus or similar rash, then see your primary care physician. There are tests that can be done to check for the presence of the herpes virus.

See GYNECOLOGIST: Get your yearly Pap smear and blood work done. Discuss your fear (or your partner's fear) with your GYN. Also, out of curiosity why is your partner scared that you have herpes is it because he has it?

Explore this further: You may want to explore the reasons why your partner is scared that you have herpes. Does your partner have herpes? Have you ever had any symptoms of herpes such as painful sores on the vulva? Herpes doesn't always have symptoms you recognize. One way to know if you have ever been exposed to herpes is to do a blood test. You may both want to be tested. Best wishes!
