Is this herpes?
Hello all,
I recently had protected sex with someone. There was no oral sex involved. The next day I got a UTI I believe and then the following day I appeared to have burning and stinging on my upper/inner thigh. The stinging was more prominent on my left leg. The next morning redness on the left leg appeared but no significant rash or bumps. Since then a have experienced some form of nonstop burning, tingling, pinching, numbness, shocking down my left leg and groin and foot and back and muscle twitches and less severe symptoms on my right side. I still can't see any bumps. Does this sound like herpes? or some form of nerve issue or back issue? I am really scared and confused as sex was protected.

I am IGG Negative at 7 weeks I will go in at 12 weeks as well. Really scared as my symptoms have gotten worse. Can a first outbreak be on your leg?
I was diagnosed with it. It took me over 3 months to have a positive blood test because my body was still building antibodies to produce a positive result. I never got a lesion during that time. It took over 10 months since the time I was infected for me to actually have an outbreak. It was just one spot that wasn’t painful at all. If you do have a spot come up, go ASAP and have it swabbed. Hope it’s nothing.
This sounds similar to me. I had a UTI the next day and I have some muscle ache and lower back pain as well as a sore throat

Do you mind me asking what your diagnosis ended up being?
I just had unprotected sex on Saturday and Sunday Morning so Monday was the first day I went to the doc and the box about my UTI. I sort of feel like there is tingling around my vagina but it could also be my mind playing tricks on me. So far no lesions have shown and there is no itching or burning so I thought it would maybe be too early to ask for an STD test.
@needanswers1414 have you gotten a diagnosis or any other symptoms yet?
I have not. I was just about to ask you the same thing. My symptoms have gotten so much worse. Still no outbreak.... I don’t know what’s going on with me. I’m scared that it is herpes. What about you?
