I think it’s herpes but only cause the test says but…..

Posted , 2 users are following.

so about 2-3 weeks back i got a cold/fever that was very mild it was something like 100.2 in reality i had a mild cough and felt fine otherwise about 5 days after the cough went a way i noticed a bit if a tingle toward the head of my penis but it was so light in pressure i dont know how often i didnt notice it. along with this sometimes when i farted my balls would tingle which in my 30 years of life is a brand new feeling. cut to me enjoying my self solo style with just a but if that same tingle at the head of my with a mild sense of pressure. if i hadnt noticed how bright red the left side of my head was in my penis i might nit be here right now. so i panic and freak out and scour the internet for info which caused more fear. the next day i went and got std tested. now that the redness had gone i saw three maybe 2mm sized lesions!ulcers which i will post pics (note they are much more white in the photo cause the internet told me white vinegar would show me what the redness was hiding,the source). the test showed me hsv-1 index value 1.94 which is just barely positive. did research and i accepted it but the research told me it should be burning or itching or lots of discomfort and tons of tiny blisters that should pop, ulcer, and crust over none of that really happened. if we are calling these an ulcer they never crusted over i took viral meds to help and while healing the spots turned kind of glossy red shrinking in size and visibility till gone. was that herpes do i just carry the antibodies and the Igg test was just showing me i carry them? apart of me thinks mild syphilis but i just dont know.

    was it following a sexual encounter? hard to say what it could be without pics. How long did it all last ? first outbreaks are normally bad and last longer. Normally.

    you ever had a coldsore? 60% of the global population have herpes by the time they are 40. how did they test for herpes swab or blood?
