i had unprotected sex with someone. started getting flu like symptoms a day later, and it hurt to pee or walk around. my doctor said it might be urethritis, but the labs came back negative for chlamydia and gohnnorea though there were leukocytes in my urine. also did a swab and im waiting to hear back from labs if its herpes.image

      it hurt pretty bad, so much so that i had to stay in bed most of the time. it stopped hurting today finally after a week, though it itches a little bit.

      I had this swabbed (PCR) on day 5 and it came back negative. By the look of it (the pic in the first post), do you think it was too healed over to get an accurate result? I ask because I had another outbreak 4 months ago on my butt that looked like Herpes but it was too late to get it swabbed. One doctor said it was herpes another said it was shingles. I did an IGG blood test and that came back negative too.
