22F here,,, almost 2 weeks ago I had unprotected sex w/ this one guy I was friends with for a tiny bit (I mean we both know he only wanted sex, he tried multiple times and I ended up not wanting to) then one day I got upset and I sometimes have sex to cope w my life problems (ik it’s not healthy and I’m not doing it again)…

Anyways, a few days after I started having a mild sore throat and I felt a bit tired/like my body was gonna get sick but I didn’t (I was also working at a retirement hone) anyways, yesterday after work I noticed a lump on my vaginal bikini line but now it’s more flat (I can’t tell if it’s a lymph node or ingrown?) I haven’t shaved for a few days so idk how it can be ingrown now? But I also had mild mild itchyness in one area on my vagina and was a small tiny red dot… I also got my period today too. I also have had very very mild nausea for the past week too which is weird… Anyways, he’s a douche bag and he barely even answered me after we had sex so I blocked him. I asked him prior to sex if he’s clean and stuff and he said yes and that he wasn’t sleeping w anyone else ant the time and he wouldn’t lie cuz it would mean disrespecting me. I know I shouldn’t have believed him anyways. I’m rlly ashamed and disappointed with myself for sleeping with someone whom I know doesn’t respect me.. idk when the best time to test is, it’ll mark 2 weeks since sex on the 14th of December.

Ask your Dr. they will be able to tell you when to test and set you up with an appt. to get it done. If you don't have a regular Dr., no insurance, etc. Check with your local health dept.

I’m kinda embarrassed to ask.. I ask quite often because I regularly get tested. I’ve always been negative thankfully prior but I’m worried now with this guy… there are health clinics that do testing for free and I think I can go there, so I will probably just go there to save some anxiety from asking my doctor again.

Doctors don't give a damn. No need to be embarrassed. Plus, it's your health on the line, you're more important than whatever you believe the doctor is thinking. You matter, please understand that.
