Herpes?

Posted , 5 users are following.

I broke with my partner (we later got back together) and during that time had sex with a girl about a month and a half ago. I pushed in several times before putting on a condom but had one on the rest of the time. She contacted me a few weeks later telling me I should get tested because I may have something (I know I didn't have herpes beforehand). She said she had some symptoms like red bumps, no itching of pain. Her results came back negative and apparently a specialist saw her and it came back the same. I then saw no reason to get tested but got a cut along my frenulum while masturbating. anyway I had sex with my partner that exacerbated the cut and again a couple days later unprotected that made it worse than that.. This seemed like a simple cut that I stupidly made worse. I then put coconut oil on it for a few days and I noticed three small blisters around my shaft. Not in a cluster but within a couple centimeters while erect. Anyway I punctured them and doused myself with apple cider vinegar for a couple days and it all seems to be healing. What do you think? I have had an ingrown hair once or twice many years ago but am worried that I may have herpes

    sorry to hear the bad news man. Did the doc put u on meds? When u say u had a cut that wasn't healing..how did it look?

      It looked like a cut under my frenulum. It got worse after having sex with it. Nothing strange until I got those three blisters. Which are all healing. It was just taking a while

      Just over two weeks. It's healed but I can still see where it was. The cut has closed up and everything

      So when u say u can see where it was, is it like a scab? Is it red? Are u negative for hsv1?

    There's going to be a tough conversation tonight or tomorrow. Right now I'm just a mess. I suppose there's a chance I didn't give it.

      its possible u had this a while. And the cut u have might be totally unrelated. Some ppl have this herpes for years and don't know. They say as much as 80%

      ok...but the girl u cheated with came up negative? Unless she's mistaken or took unreliable tests. U should get a 2nd opinion. and if u are still positive then its possible ur partner was the one who had it.

      I suppose but I got a four on the test which is very high and I've had real symptoms like the blisters and tingling legs.

      yea. its a tough spot to be in man i understand. Ur gonna have to be honest with her tho because herpes is real contagious. i mean u guys did break up at one point. Its not exactly cheating right? Im sure u told her u haven't done anything. U can tell her you saw something down there and your worried and that maybe she should get tested. see how she reacts.

      She told me I had to go until I got my act together and we were back together within the week.
