Is this herpes?

[concernedguy1254]

I had unprotected sex just under 3 months ago.

About 4 weeks ago I noticed a slight tingling under the base of the head of my penis that has been coming and going ever since. I really only feel this after sitting down for a while and thinking about it.

Also, there is a redness on the head of my penis that is not irritated whatsoever, but becomes very red after masturbation.

I also have an itchiness around my anus but it has been confirmed by the doctor as a fissure.
I've been tested for gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphillis, and HIV, all tests negative.
Is this herpes?

Any help would be great,
Thanks :)

there is no tingling anymore but occasionaly i feel a very slight ache on my penis - this can be anywhere - so i assume its just in my head. The redness around urethra is still there so I have booked an appointment with a different doctor.

I haven't had one because it is quite expensive and the doctor said there isn't much of a reason for me to have one

It wouldn't, this is not caused by herpes.

What were your blood test results for HSV?

[concernedguy1254]

so on the topic of herpes, how long would someone's anus remain itchy?

[concernedguy1254]

side note: there are small red papule-like bumps that encircle the base of the head of my penis in a line... the doctor says they are nothing to worry about but i remain concerned. Anyone have any idea?

so i went to the doctor and he said its not herpes.. but he didn't give me any conclusive advice.

I got another urine sample taken.

Does anyone have any idea/advice?

thanks a lot for your response!

I'm seeing the doctor about this today, i will post about it later

Hi, Only testing would confirm if you have herpes but those with recent infections that do  have outbreaks, would occur on an average of a week or so later, not 2 months.
Also tingling is a prodrome term used most often for those with long term herpes and can be used as a tool prediction coming outbreaks and should not last more than a few days.
All of what your describing dont appear herpes related as the head is not a common place for outbreaks but the shaft or pubic mound area.
