About a year and a half ago I broke up with my long term boyfriend and was completely stupid and unaware that other people could have stds. So I met a guy and went home with him, and stupidly had a good amount to drink. We ended up in his bed, but we didn't have sex , just lots of fricton with genital contact. In the morning I wasn't exactly sure what happened, but he for some reason told me 'don't worry I dont have stds.' And I, haven't even IMAGAINED that would be an issue, got really scared he would bring it up.

Immediately when I left, my vaginal area began BURNING, for a few days. Its been a year and a half since then, and I am constantly itchy down there[feels like crawling], and there are tiny white dots on my outer lips. I am freaking out because I am afraid it is an std [herpies?], but I am wishfully hoping maybe its a curable infection? I have had some genital contact with about 4 other people since then and none of them have any symptoms like I do. I wear tights and tighter fitting clothing daily, so maybe that would influence something? Is there anything that could get ruled out or something I most definetly have?

I think it might be an STD. You should get tested

Doesn't sound like herpes to me. Molluscum or HPV possibly, but no std gives symptoms the next day. The burning might have been from the vigerous rubbing. But, you really need to see a doctor about the white spots. If an STD, you could be quite contagious, but it could certainly be something else. The things I mentioned can be easily transmitted by simple contact with his pubic area - insertion not required.

Based on your post, you have had relations with five people in 18 months. This drastically increases your chances of contracting any number of sexually transmitted diseases in addition to passing what you may already have (unknowingly) to those other individuals. In my opinion, deciding to have sexual relations with someone requires responsibility and shouldn't be something done lightly. I certainly would advise that you not chance exposing anyone else to whatever you may have until you get it checked out and resolved. I'm sure that is what you would want someone to do before being "involved" with you.
