Anal Herpes without anal sex?
Hello,
I am a straight male and have been experiencing some anal itching/burning/buttock pain over the last few weeks after a breif sexual encounter with a woman who's STD status I am not sure of.
I have been to the doctor and he tells me it is nothing to worry about but I have been reading that you can have anal herpes without having anal sex. I was wondering if anyone can tell me if this is common or a rarity?
I realize that I probably don't have herpes and will have a blood test at the 12 week point.
