does this sound like herpes? alot of weird symptoms
I gave and recieved oral sex with a 20 year old sexually active female partner that I did not know that well but felt I could trust (bad idea I now know.) Giving oral sex included using my tongue and two fingers (unprotected). I also had (penis to vagina) sex around 4 times using condoms.
My symptoms that I am experiencing are (in order of appearance)
Two weeks after the sexual contact
-i developed a slight tingle in the tip of my penis. This still continues today after 3 months.
-I sleep alot more than normal now.
-4th week i went to std clinic and was given doxycycline. tested neg for syphilis, gonorrhea, and clamida.
-6th week i developed a heavy white coated throat.
-had severe irritation on the tip of my penis. the bottom of the tip turned blue/white and the top turned red.
-many very small oblong white bumps appeared on the top of the tip of m penis along with similar "c" shaped bumps. A penny sized circle cut region on top of the tip formed with dryness in the middle. the bumps have been present for two months now.
-i developed a rectal itch and i have white skin below the rectum which is very irritated and has lasted around 2 months. I went to see my family doctor and she gave me flagyl for my white coated tongue which did not help anything. she didn't rule out herpes but thought it was a candidiasis and penile candidiasis. I am circumsized so i found it is rare in circumsized me. I'm praying that this is all it is though.
-10th week my cheaks, forehead, tip of nose, and upper part of my chin is red, dry, and flaky. the affected areas are also slightly itchy
-i developed a raised red pimple in my pubic hair region that formed over night. no red skin prior to the pimple. i poped it and a clear and alittle white fluids came out followed by alittle blood. the pimple then decreased in size over a period of 5 days and after 15 days is just a little flat red area. the pimple was never painful.
also;
-when i take a shower the tip of my penis turns bight red under hot water.
-when i have an erection the skin on my shaft closest to the tip is dry and white looking.
after 3 months from the exposure i have all symptoms i have described and new things just seem to keep coming up. I plan to go back to my family doctor and the std clinic again but I thought i would see if anyone here can tell me if this may be herpes or something else and what that might be.
Thank you very much.

I work as a nurse in a GUM clinic and your symptoms don't sound like herpes. As to your various other problems, I suspect simple explainations could be responsible for many of your ailments such as dry skin but most likley a hyper awareness of the area that you have developed and are now noticing every small change and worring about them.
I am not trivialising your problems as this happens to many people and would suggest a repeat trip to your clinic where staff will be happy to put your mind at rest or treat you. Hope this helps, always use a condom,do me out of a job. Regards
thanks alisonjackson. i

i still need to get tested but i can't find anywhere in my area that does free or cheap testing for herpes. how much does a standard herpes tests cost typically if i was to get it done at my family doctor's office/lab? i asked my doctor and their only answer was "it's not cheap." and i don't have insurance because i work as a freelancer.
anyone else think they can
anyone else think they can offer some insight on what might be going on with me? i still haven't been able to get any answers from the std clinic or family doctor.
confused whether i have herpes
i have following symptoms.it would be great help if someone can tell i have herpes.
1.I had oral sex with one girl without condom 3 weeks back.
2.I started getting itching on my penis afer 3 days.A set of very tiny white powderlike thing appeared but disappeared on the head of penis.i have shown to a doctor,he said it doesnt look like herpes.Doctor said it may be yeast infection and i applied ointment,but still itching continues.i still have doubt i have very tiny redbumps(difficult to recognize)on my penis
3.I get itching sensation on my nose,around eyes and anus
4.Also I feel pain on my knees and lower legs,butocks occasionally,but this is not continous,it is like a trigger.no blisters appeared as of now anywhere in the body.
5.I am confused whether i have herpes or not.i already bought antiviral medicine aciclovir,but i didnt start taking that.Even after 3 weeks i only have itching,no blisters.
can someone give some input
Jamesjoseph,
Jamesjoseph, what you have sounds a lot like what I have been going through. I have also noticed a "white powder" covering the tip of my penis. It is there when my penis is erect and water instantly removes it leaving the tip bright red.
My herpes blood test came back negative which I found out today. So it's one little step. Can I be happy with a blood test result?
My doctor said that the infected area looks like a fungal infection/trouble with yeast overgrowth and perscribed me a 3 day course of difucan along with a cortizone/steriod cream to apply twice a day for unstated amount of time. It has seemed to lessen the condition and after 2 weeks I have noticed a cut circular area i have on the top of the tip (which has been present for 8 weeks) has been getting smaller. Hopefully this is a sign that what I am dealing with is NOT herpes or an std, but a fungal infection, possibly transmitted from my sexual encounter. would it take this long to clear up a fungal infection though? I've treated it for 2 weeks with little, but noticable improvement.
how is shingles related to herpes?
i just got tested for STD's and my blood test came back positive for the antibody's for herpes. My doctor said that I may not have herpes but I have been exposed. Is it possible that I picked up those antibodys when my boyfriend had a shingles out break a few months ago??
need answers
I also would like to know how genital
herpes is related to shingles. My new
partner of 2 months had no signs of herpes
& has not been tested. It has been 3 wks.
since I was diagnosed. He does have a spot
on his right side of waist that looks like
shingles. Is shingles contagious?
