Talk to your partner.  If you are mature enough to have sex, then you are mature enough to discuss STD’s.  If your partner has ever had symptoms of the virus, or if you develop symptoms, you may be infected.

Symptoms

• Sores appear in the area that is infected with the virus. These sores may appear on the vagina, buttocks, penis, and anus.  
• Sores start out as red bumps that soon turn into red, watery blisters. They may make it very painful to urinate.
• Sores then open up, ooze fluid or blood, and then scab over and clear up during the next 3 to 4 days.
• The entire genital area may feel very tender or painful, and a fever or swollen lymph node in the groin  may occur. 
• Other symptoms include muscle and joint aches, swelling and pain in genitals, numbing, headache, fever, poor appetite, and lack of energy.
