I have a semi-squishy lump on the right side of my vaginal opening. It has grown larger over the years and is now causing issues with bowel movements and penetration during intercourse. It feels like something is in the way. What should I do?

I have recently tested positive for HSV-2, and I have a few questions about my situation. I had intercourse with two different partners in the past few months, and I had an outbreak shortly after the last encounter. My HSV-2 test came back positive with a high index level (13.6 and then 90). I am curious about the possibility of testing positive so quickly (6.5 days after the last encounter) and whether this could be due to a strong immune response. Additionally, I am concerned about the potential transmission to my partners and the implications of my high index levels.

My last period was on 09/19, I found out I was pregnant on 10/13 via a urine test then same day I did a blood test that came up positive with a count of 62 hcg. My cycle is regular and is usually 29-30 days. I had a protected intercourse on 10/11 with someone other than my boyfriend. Is there even a tiny chance that I could be pregnant from that intercourse on 10/11, and do I need to get a prenatal paternity test?
