Cleanliness has nothing to do with sexually acquired disorders. You may be clean and perfect, but your partner may be a bum. If you got pubic lice, then you most likely got it during a sexual encounter from someone who already had these creatures. What this means is that both of you need treatment otherwise you are going to be passing on these nasty creatures to your other potential sexual partners. Just a word of warning- in some states not telling a partner that you have a sexually transmitted disease and having sex can lead to a lot of legal hassles.

I have tiny black insects in my pubic hair and I am very itchy. Any idea what this is? I am a 22 year old male
Looks like you got crabs or pubic lice. These tiny creatures are intense black and can cause a fair amount of skin irritation. There are a number of ways to get rid of them. You will need to get an over the counter medication called Quellada, also sold as Derbac-M and Prioderm. This lotion will kill the lice with a single application. The medication must be thoroughly rubbed into the pubic area and left for a minimum of 6-12 hours- the longer the better. Apply it at night and rinse it off in the morning. Most people need another application in 7-10 days to ensure that all the adults as well as the eggs have been killed. Since this is a sexually acquired infestation, your partner must also be treated

How long does a genital herpes infection last?
Almost all genital blisters turn into open ulcers after a few days. The soreness does diminish a little but the general ill health continues for 5-14 days.
After about 7-10 days, the ulcers dry up, become crusted and fall off. The entire episode can last 7-12 days. After the initial infection, the virus disappears and goes into a latent stage and may never again cause an infection (if you are lucky).
However, mind you the herpes virus never ever leaves the body and hides inside nerves. When the right opportunity presents, it again reactivates- albeit the pain is a little less this time.

I think I may have acquired genital herpes. Will the lesions become painful?
No one ever forgets an acute genital herpetic outbreak.
The sores are tender to touch and even urination is painful. In those who are liberal in their sex life and acquire an anal infection, the feeling is like a hot-burning needle around the rectal area- in fact quite painful and pooping is almost impossible.
Any thoughts of eroticism and sexual intercourse are always absent because of the pain.
For men, blisters occur at the tip of the penis and cause difficulty with urination and even wearing tight undergarments can be very uncomfortable. Of course, men have the same degree of pain as women.

How soon do herpes lesions appear after sex?
Herpes simplex has a fairly standard presentation. Those who become symptomatic from the infection never forget the episode and dread the beast.
The symptoms usually arise 2-3 days after acquiring the infection following sexual activity.
Most individuals will have an odd feeling, burning, tingling, pain or an odd ache in the genital area. A few days later, painful blisters will become prominent around the penis or vagina. The number of blisters is variable but most individuals develop at least a couple. The pain is sharp and burning in nature.
Many an individual has required admission to the hospital for pain control from a herpetic genital infection.

I am a 22 year old male and think I have contracted herpes. Where will the symptoms appear?
In men, herpetic lesions are most common near the tip of the penis. A few individuals do develop the blisters on the shaft of the penis.
In those who engage in anal intercourse, the blisters can occur around the entire anus. Lesions around the buttocks and back of the thigh are also common.
In women, the lesions are most common on the inside of the labia and cervix. However, the lesions may occur anywhere on the inside or outside of the vagina.
