[oOKittyKatOo]

um.. im not sure if this is PG-13... but i really need to know...

my boyfriend and i became quite intimate a couple months back.. and a couple weeks back.. we had briefly had oral sex (him doing it to me..).. and now.. im not sure if its related.. but after that incident.. i have little bumps under my pubic hair area (ive never had something like this before until after.. that..). They look like little pimples.. and they are pretty itchy.. but if i ever do itch them.. they start hurting a lot... did i get some kind of HIV / STI or anything like that... what's wrong with me? im getting nervous/scared... or is this something that has nothing to do with HIV/STI and something else? please help...

It sounds like crabs, although I don't know how you would have gotten it from oral sex.

What are the symptoms of crabs?

Symptoms commence approximately 2-3 weeks after contamination. The symptoms of crabs are primarily dermatological: localized itchiness (pruritus) of the affected regions, whether in the genital or other hirsute (hairy) skin zones. At times a patient may observe tiny blood stains in their underwear – this may signal the presence of the parasite before the itchiness begins. Itchiness is caused by the penetration of the local skin by the bug – in order that its eggs may be laid (small red spots). Minute pale brown insects or their pale whitish eggs may be visible if you look close enough.

I'm sure it's obvious that you should contact your gyno as soon as possible... If you don't get early treatment, it'll end up a lot worse than it started out.
