starting to panic...
i last wrote a yesterday and was truly relieved to receive the help i got from those of you who replied about my concerns over HIV transmission. Howwver, this evening, i noticed an unusual pimple-like bump right on the outside of my anus. i had my first sexual encounter in over a month and prior to that, had been dating the same person for five months and know with ceratinty that she was faithful. my question is, if genital herpes or warts (or somehting of the like) had been transmitted a couple of days ago, could i already be developing these types of bumps after only 48 hours? i am hoping it could be a result of the cheap toilet paper commonly found in the work place, however, as an anxious person, i am terribly concerned at this point.
No, neither HPV nor HSV would have symptoms that readily.
I have read enough of MD HHH's responses in the STD forum to know that.
Certainly not HPV (genital warts) and HSV window period for asymptomatic persons is usually 1-27 days.
Probably follicile infection of the hair. Very common. (maybe an ingrown hair)
Stop searching your body for symptoms. IF you need to be tested for an array of STI's, 3 molnths is accurate with a vast majority of STI"s including: Syphilis, HIV, HSV, Hep B/ Hep A.
Ghonnorhea and chlamydia have a window of appros. 3-7 days for testing.

HSV (7-27 days) window...not 1-27.
I have read that on his STD forum numerous times. But then again...look at the archives...they are there.
