I have a 1 time protected vaginal and oral sex with a sex worker about 1 month ago. She accidentally bit my penis after 2 secs oral. I checked the condom but didnt see any breakage. Around 2 weeks later, I have a pimples on the left of my penis, it disappeared after 3 days. Since then my penis is itching and burning, but with no discharge or odor. 2 days ago, i found another pimple-like on the right side of my scrotum, but here is a pubic hair growing right thru it.

I am very worried now. So my symptoms are herpes or other sti?

Thank you

    Very low-risk encounter if it was protected and the condom did not break, providing full skin coverage the whole time. Newly acquired herpes would not come and go within three days either. Too quick.

    I forgotten to include that I had fever,nauseous, and a ulcer in my mouth 2 weeks after the exposure. The flu lasted for almost a week. I was told it should not be ARS as i had my condom on all at times. 

    And there is no discharge and odor as well. Does the above reflects any herpes symptoms?

      That is too vague. Could be anything. If you're still worried, though, just do the IgG test at three months.

      I also have pain/itchess on penis shaft, groin and penis head. But there are no discharge.

      What could it be? And the worst thing was it happened shortly after my last protected sex which was around 6 weeks ago, and i never had any sex since then. I never felt anything like this before!!

      Its ok.

      I have yet seek any medical advise because i didnt want my partner to know about it.But i did called in to  some specialist to consult my fever and headache which occured 2 weeks after the exposure. They told me my HIV risk is extremely low because of my condom protection.

      What annoys me is that I do not have any discharge and I am on doxycycline for quite a few days and the symptoms does not seem to go away. The pain is mainly on my penis head and glands but the itch are all around my genital at times. And i dont have painful urination or the urge to pee.

      Just go to a doctor and get it examined. Your partner doesn't have to know you went, and they're going to find out something's up anyway the longer you can't get rid of it and refrain from sex or act weird about it. Still doesn't sound like herpes, incidentally.

      Could it be balanitis?

      I am on doxycycline, there doesn't seems to be any discharge and there is totally no pain during urination. So can I exclude chamelydia and gornohhea off the list? 

      But the itching and pain makes me wonder what is it...
