Hello,
I'm a 26 yo male and I was diagnosed of NGU 10 months ago after receiving oral sex from my partner. I was just experiencing extreme pain when urinating but there was no lesions/ulcer/discharge from my penis. The doctor took a sample from the tip of my penis inside the urethra and the test came back positive for HSV 1. I was prescribed one-dose of Azithromycin and the symptoms went away pretty quickly. So in this case I think I had NGU caused by HSV-1 and I'm just wondering the difference with the genital herpes caused by HSV -1 in terms of future recurrences and transmission risks to future partners.
Also from the research I've done almost all NGU caused By HSV1 is accompanied by genital ulcers/lesions during the primary outbreak. Since I didn't experience any of that, is it possible that the lab test was a false positive?
Within these 10 months I have not had another outbreak in forms of typical herpes and I only experienced some slight nerve pain, but I'm not sure if it's psychological impact or not.
Do I need further testing? and any ideas on the difference between NGU caused by HSV1 and genital herpes?
Thank you for any input!
