Reply to Gaurav Gupta's Post: they are not painful and as far as I can tell I do not have a fever. They do move around when I touch them. Unfortunately I did have unprotected sex once about three weeks after after a bit too much alcohol. Should I see a gyn immediately?

Hi,
I would advise you to fix up a appoinment with your doctor. Since there is a possibility of an STD, the sooner it is detected and treated the better.
