This hand would almost definitely not be related to HSV of any type.  The hip could be... get that test when you can.

if you're concerned about having contracted HSV (1 or 2), you should arrange to have type specific IgG blood testing.

If your last exposure was truly 9 months ago, your tests would be conclusive by now.

The location is the question as the head is not common for outbreaks but the shaft or pubic mound area.

yes herpes sores can look like pimples and usually a person who is recently infected with the virus will have symptoms within 3 days to 28 days but also keep in mind that herpes outbreaks are so mild and go unnoticed that some people might have gotten herpes years ago and are barely showing symptoms it depends on your immune system

hi i think you wrongly understood about my symptoms period.
my symptoms  began only  after 4 months of sexual exposure  and per month 2 to 3 times .it is being continued every month with average of 2 to 3 times out break. my symptoms are burning on genital tip and very small pimples .

Here my doubts are

1.In case i am infected by hsv2 ,the symptoms will occur after 4 months from the exposure?
2. hsv 2 cause very small pimples ( does not look like blister) on the glands and inner foreskin  which cover head ?

Having first time symptoms average 3 to 13 days not 4 months. Does it appear your having a herpes outbreak from what you describe? No it does not. Since your sexually active, should you have a herpes test to confirm your status? Yes you should.

Hello
Thanks for brief answer.

I had sex 9 months back . My symtoms started from 4 th months from the sexual exposure. My symtoms are buring and small pimples on glans and inner foreskin .
But I never had  blisters on outer shaft.
Does this cause herpes?

Hi, its unlikely to get herpes sores on the  head but its most common on the shaft and would not be white puss filled. Herpes sores can appear as most anything but the area they show up is a dertermining factor. If your concerned have a checkup.
