It does not seem to be associated with contact with another person. However the risk does seem to increase if you have a female partner, smoke, or douche. Reading your posting I do not believe the vaginosis is due to the other woman not showering before coming over. Reason why I believe this is because the length of time between the contact and onset of symptoms. Another reason, even though female on female contact is a reason for vaginosis, I feel, it has more to their practice and not hygiene. Now if you smoked or douce then, I feel, that is the most likely cause. Finally you ask about the bumps and if they are normal. The bumps could be associated with the infection and if they do not disappear after the infection then they should be examined by your doctor as they could be something unrelated to the infection.

You should see a doctor right away to rule out STDs and to get it taken care of. In the future, I would not allow someone who has not washed their hands to touch you there and definitely do not have unprotected sex. It's dangerous! It certainly sounds like an infection.

Primary infection with HSV-2 manifests as bumps that can occur almost anywhere in the vagina, vulva, etc. The lesions typically appear within one week after contact. If it is HSV-2, the bumps are fluid (and virus filled) vesicles that will ulcerate and be painful. These bumps will usually occur bilaterally (on both sides).
