so about 3 months ago I had unprotected sex with a girl for about 5 minutes who said she had genital herpes. about a month later i felt a little burst of fluttering in my scrotum, perenium area, but over the next few weeks has gotten worse. I got tested for every STD 4 weeks after her and everything came back negative. I have no rashes, no pain, no redness, no itching or blisters just an annoying feeling in my genital area (nothing affecting my penis) could this be all in my mind I am FREAKING out, thank you!

    Did you check to see if you got checked for herpes because herpes isn’t part of std screening unless you ask your doctor for it ? And also it could be to early as well to tell.  Maybe wait 3months and get rechecked for herpes . I’m going through the same thing where I’m still waiting on my results and I’m freaking out but all the best to you as well hope everyhing turns out good.

      If everything came back negative den you shouldn’t worry and give it a couple months to get rechecked .take it easy and relax

    The mind can be a powerful thing. On the other hand it could take a couple months to show an std in your system, as well as false negative results, it could also be another issue thats not std related. The best bet would be to go to a doctor. That way you have real closure because all youre going to do on the internet is make yourself freak out. Not all herpes or stds show any signs, thats why people can go a long time with out even knowing they have something. Best of wishes!

      thank you! I guess my main question would be what exactly is tingling? and how long does it typically last before an outbreak? My “tickling/tingling symptoms” ive been describing have been going on for a little over a month now

      Honestly, i have no idea. Ive had 1 break out and never had any flu like symptoms, tingling, burning nothing, just a small rash spot that didnt evem hurt.

    Same here! I feel a tingle from time to time and results came back negative, Only time when I really don’t feel it is when my mind is stimulated other than that I’m on the internet freaking out looking for answers
