Do I have std

Thank you Christopher

No I didnt

You really should go do a full panel and make sure to request for herpes to be sure.

I will. But I dont feel like it could be that based off my symptoms.

Every thing I've tried to look up points to std or some other bacterial infections

Herpes presents itsekf asymptomaticly in most or such mild symptoms, that it is often mistaken and misdiagnosed as something else.

People absolutely do experience pain in the abdomen and genitals, w no physical sores. It's just better to be safe than sorry.

I'll tell you why it won't be a bacterial STD, because you used protection. Co Dom's however, don't completely protect you from skin to skin contact STDs like herpes and HPV. So it's either cycitis, something w your prostate, UTI or a chance to be herpes.

Just better to be safe than sorry.

Thank you for being so informative u really do appreciate it alot. I also was under the impression that you cannot contract herpes if the person doesn't have an outbreak and uses protection. Well thats what I've heard from various sources

Yeah, unfortunately that's not true and it happens. The virus even in people who get symptoms, which is only 20% or less of us, does something called asymptomatic shedding. So that means there's no signs or symptoms, but there's enough viral particles on the surface of the skin to be contagious. This is how and when most people catch it. About 70% of the people who catch it from someone, isn't even aware they have it, so they're more risk than someone who does know they have it and knows their symptoms.

I just read a medical report last week that 40% of bodies in autopsies have latent HSV 2 in the sacral ganglia nerve (base of the tailbone) & only 5% of those deceased, were clinically diagnosed or had a history of it. So the statistics of personnel having it, is likely much higher than even what the CDC reports.

So your risk of catching it wearing a condom is still pretty low, about 2%, but it still happens... See it all the time on the forums.

I doubt you have it, but as I said... Better to be safe than sorry... Herpes presents in such different ways in everybody.. You read the classic text book symptoms, which is worse cade scenario/full blown symptoms, everyone out there you coukd possibly have, but most don't have any or so mild they have no idea.

You're right at the marjwr when you'd developed antibodies to it as well, so good time for a blood test. Request HSV 1 & 2 IgG.

In the meantime, just relax and not stress. Probably nothing, but hey... Knowledge is power... Keep me a breast

Thank you again .

Np and good luck. I'm sure it's probably nothing, but it's better you learned something you didn't know right!? ;-)

I havent gotten my results back yet. They are slow and have to send the samples to a lab which takes 4 to 8 weeks. I will disclose that im in another country working, I also lef t out that before any of this occurred I had jock itch not actually knowing what it was. Ithe infected area alot unknowingly. But I've developed a couple of more symptoms : back pain near kidneys and lower. Sharp pain in the "tout" or "goouch" and very dry scaly skin on a part of my penis foreskin (im circumcised)

Hmmm.... Herpes can be mistaken for jock itch and thrush and it can cause a lot of the symptoms you are having.

You can always contact Westover Heights and have them send you a test to do.

Why do you think it was jock itch? Was it a rash?

Im in a different country workin and it gets really hot here. I had been sweating alot in the groin area also i noticed two dark patches on my thighs close to the creases of me grown. They twitched extremely often and when I scratched it would get flakey and it looked like a ringworm

I dunno. You really should contact that clinic and pay for them to send you a test.

Okay. I will thanks
