Herpes symptoms (sti) (std) (male)
Posted , 5 users are following.
hi there
over the last 2 weeks i have been having symtoms relating to herpes. marks on penis and other areas. after having protected sex 3 weeks ago. i went for a sexual health check and bloods. the women checked the marks and such and mentioned it was 100% not herpes. however i still cant shake the feeling that it is? i was possibly looking to see by showing 2 pictures that someone could maybe let me know?
currently the marks are on the pubic area and 1 that WAS a pimple that was popped as now turned into this on the under right bottom cheek.

Thats what im hoping. I currently have this swollen feeling in my right groin. i have been given no meds "incase on the safe side" The nurse looked at it and said not herpes or any type of HPV. However i dont believe i was swabbed? Urine sample and bloods were done. on the card were the illness are ticked about whats being checked, herpes is the only one not ticked. so im unsure if it is being checked?

they would not have been able to swab the area as in order to get a reliable swab they must be swabbed within 48 hours of them appearing as need to be fluid there in order to swab once they have dried up they cannot swab them so they do a blood test instead

ah okay! So even though it isnt marked on my card. They will still be able to see if it is on my blood results? This is what it looks like on my card which is why its worrying me they arent checking it for hpv

if they had tested u for it it would be ticked on the card so i am not sure if they have tested u for hsv although i dont think thats the cause in your case it looks like a bacterial skin infection to me

this an update from today. About to take another salt bath. iv always been taking oregano oil for 2 days to see if that helps. Should i just wait on results? would herpes results be positive if they arent looking for it?

that's most likely herpes especially the last pic that you posted.

Mine only bothers me whenever something rubs against it. every now and then it will burn and tingle but the nurse said that that was normal for staph.. still worried though. i hope all goes well for you!
