      When do you get the results?

      I would act like it is herpes, just to be safe. So try not to touch the sores, and if you do wash your hands right after. Experiencing any chills or feeling cold?

      Well, one of the issues being faced with trying to prevent the spread of herpes is that many people have the virus and have no symptoms or outbreaks -- or maybe they had a couple as a kid but nothing since. Thing is, as a carrier of the virus you can still pass the virus to other people, even without any sores or outbreaks, and it's impossible to know when that could happen. If it does turn out to be herpes, I wouldn't discount this possibility. I've seen a lot of similar cases happen to quite a few couples.

    A list of symptoms for herpes is just a guideline.

    Some people get them, some people get one or two from the list and others get none or completely different symptoms eg a recurrent area that looks like a ingrown hair!

    Some people won’t have flu like symptoms. Mostly the difficulty passing urine is due to sores in the urethra or concentrated urine touching the sores ( most people won’t want to drink to avoid peeing)..

    My first outbreak was brutal and it was severe! It took like 72 hours to notice a difference! I had easy access to a prescription and clinic for antivirals and was advised to take 1g x3 on the first day and then 1g x2 for the for 8 days 1g a day! I also found acyclovir didn’t work but valtrex did! Even though valtrexs breaks down to acyclovir.

    Even after this the sores weren’t fully healed but there was no pain.

    How do the sores look now? Did they break down more??

    It definitely could be bacterial from hair removal like a old razor! But usually this pain isn’t so hard to deal with!

    The picture is just of urine culture it doesn’t mention anything about herpes. But it seems as though your urine is clear of infection.
