Help? Not sure if herpes ?
Posted , 6 users are following.
Hi Community ,
I Hope everyone is doing fine
I posted some Info on April and have some updates. Maybe those who have more experience could help me out.
I am a male 28, circumcised and in good health
On April 16 I had unprotected sex oral/vaginal
April 19 this is how my penis looks,
was like that and just look like it had a rough time
5 days after exposure I go to a gp explain what happened and receive a preventive gono/chlam shot , saw it irritated and attributed to the rough sex gave me an antibiotic cream but it burned and decided to let it go
6 days after I woke up with my penis like
7 days after and saw a gp at an er
I asked him if he thought it was herpes he said idk and referred me to an urologist
Day 9
Go to an std clinic and doctor said it was main irritation but no signs of herpes
Day 12
Go to urologist said no herpes and does a culture. Never received a phone call so I guess he didn’t find anything
Day 30 go to my urologist and show him the pictures and said no signs of blisters or scarring
Day 45 go to another urologist show him and he said I probably caught a bacteria thanks to the most and scarring from the rough sex
I tested negative herpes at 4 , weeks igg
Hsv1 <.10 and hsv2 .15
6 weeks hsv 1/2 igg mixed negative <.5
7 weeks igg hsv 1<.10 and hsv 2 .14”
After the timeline and my symptoms. I will test again on the 12 mark week, and I haven’t taken any antivirals or inmunecompromised
Do you think the pictures resemble herpes ?
Thank you all for your help

nothing here resembles herpes, your igg is already negative for both types at week 7, you should be fine. but yes, do retest at week 12 in case.

i'm facing the same issue as yours, exact same, i got diagnosed with chlamydia a month ago, got those tiny blister after 3 months of exposure.
i went to a private urology doctor to get a 2nd opinion, they told me its not herpes its more of balanitis... and i may have prostatitis as i'm having pain at the testis and the urethra.
i'm following up with my urologist doctor from the public hospital few weeks time...
keep us update...

hi zach,
i hope you are doing well.
i am in the same boat, but you have passed your time. you should get a herpes igg test specific for 1/2 and then you should get an answer ? do you know your hsv status ?

hi zach well depends mine symptoms started 6 days after
no fever, no swollen lymph nodes, no discharge and as you can see in the pictures not your typical blisters from the pics
i have tested negative for the past 10 years and no symptoms of oral herpes either which means i would have expected more
i will test next week at the 10 week mark and ill drop it afterwRds
keep us updated on your side

Hi, yes I dont see anything resembling Herpes. It could be a non-sexual bacterial infection deep under your skin. Have they prescribed you antibiotics like a zpack? Are you washing your penis with fragranced soap? Stress can also cause symptoms to worsen but yes, it's definitely not Herpes for sure.
