Genital Hsv 1?? Still unsure
I've been dealing with what I have always thought was a rash, for a long time I had consistent redness I was dating a girl for about a year and a half who I knew got cold sores, but never received oral sex while sore was present, one day I noticed small red dots and automatically assumed the worst, last year I was checked for STD including
Full panel like four times and everything was negative, like I said I've had this problem for a long time even a year since I noticed these red dots I had an igg blood test done and it
Came back hsv1 1.14 and hsv2 negative so I was relieved to know it was not hsv 2, I've never once had any pain itchiness burning sensation while urinating no symptoms at all other than visual even today nothing, I've been reading about hsv 1 genitally to know what I'm dealing with, I read that recurrences are pretty rare and so is
Transmission but it can always happen and even if
There was recurrences it was much less than hsv2, even when there are no dots I still see redness to my penis nothin to alarming sometimes it looks normal as can be, if every time I see new red dots on my penis Aka an "outbreak" than last year I probably had over 10 out breaks, what I mean by that is red dots appearing the. Back to normal then appearing again it's been probably more then ten times in a year, another thing inbound interesting
Is that it usually takes up to a week for "sores" to heal mine come and go in a matter of days 2 or three days and it's gone, I've never had any pain full cluster of blisters nothing like that ever, I went to see about 5 doctors 3 of them always told me it was nothing at a STD clinic then I went to two other ones and they prescribed me an antiviral pretty much saying yea I have herpes, at the time I took the antiviral first dose my "sores" were already clearing up they were only there a few days like usual, at the last day of my prescribed course there they were a few red dots and went away again in a few days, I decided to see a dermatologist showed him the dots I talked about and said it was nothing and gave me oxistat cream oxicanazole or something like that, that actually worked for me I didn't see any more dots for 2 to 3 months, I had sex with a girl a dew days ago pretty rough w condom always w condom and I look in the afternoon and I have like a red line across my penis head with 2 dots, that was on Tuesday today pretty much gone looks way better, through out all this time I've had this proble
I've been sexually active because I was always told it was nothin, probably over 10 girls have given me oral sex and no one has ever said anything to me about anything, one or two times codons have ripped and nothing, one night unknowingly I received oral sex while red dots present that was like 6 months ago and nothing, so I don't have symptoms I've never infected anyone to my knowledge in over 2 years, my healing time
For my "sores" is really fast takes days, the dots are not

hsv1 looks the same as hsv2 - just it reoccurs less often.
see the dermatologist.

Ok Thant you I won't have unprotected until I'm in a monotonous relationship. What is ir that leads you to believe this isn't heroes related? How would hsv 1 differ from hsv 2 in the genitals? Oxi stat worked for a while then I ran out I read somewhere fungus can come back should I look into getting back on it? What else do you recommend I do or look into to rid my self of this problem any test? Any product? Specialist? Thank you very much for your quick reply
really nothing to add from your original post on this. This isn't a herpes issue. follow up with a dermatologist as needed.
we recommend protected sexual contact because it works! You are just setting yourself up for trouble if you continually have unprotected oral sex with multiple partners. The rule of thumb is - if your pants are off, a condom should be on. Save yourself this sort of worry, practice safer sex !
