Is this herpes?!?!

Ok... Its friday today and last friday i had unprotected oral and vaginal sex with a girl who said she was clean. The next day the opening of my penis felt cold and wet like. For a few days it felt like that along with tingling at the tip. Around monday i felt a sore throat coming along and it has persisted since. On monday when i woke up i noticed redness around the penis opening and i started panicking further, i checked for lesions and i noticed two shiny purple flat raised lumps on my inner thigh (they have since almost dimished and look like a scar bt they never turned into a sore and never hurt but itched when i messed with em). The tingling has stopped but now i get a very very mild burn when i sit down and a moderate burn only After i pee. I am extremely worried this might be herpes (prodrome) bt the girl i had sex with insists that shes clean and now is offended by my concerns. I went to urgent care this morning due to my concerns and anxiety and had a urine sample taken. The practicioner said its not a yeast infection or a uti and she thinks its most likely herpes due to suspected prodrome symptoms. She said it might b gonorrhea or chlamydia because i told her that when i took the urine sample there wuz like a stringy white cloud in the urine and that that might be discharge. The chlamydia and gono tests wont b back for a couple days and she couldnt take a herpes test cuz they dont take them there. I am extremely worried and scared to death. What am i experiencing?????? Any ideas??? Is this herpes?? I really suspected a uti or sumthing because of how soon i experienced symptoms but those tests came back negative :( please please help

Well so far i havent gotten the results back, i should maybe call them bt the thing is my symptoms have mostly cleared since i took the antibiotics. I have sum itching and still a tiny bit of sensation at the tip bt im thinking its prbly sumthing with my prostate maybe or its all jus in my head. Bt yes its extremely frustrating, the last thing i want is a positive test result bt it sucks not knowing what is going on too. Im holding on to hope that what that girl told me is true referring to her being free of stds. I have an appointment this friday bt see if thats of any use since i know it wouldnt b reliable results anyways. Man i hope i hope i hope i dont have it. Thank u though for ur concern, i sincerely appreciate it. The thing is i have no sores yet from what i know of, they would hurt right?? Like a cut though or worse?? And do the sores appear exactly where it itched or tinngled???

Hello Rs,..Im hoping your test results came back today on the chlamydia, and gonorrhea and all is negative!..As far as the urgent care lady thinking it may be herpes, I am surprised she couldn't at least of given you treatment for it like Valtrex or aclovir...it would help quite quickly, then you would know if it really could of been herpes, maybe you can call your doctor back and ask if they could put u on the cancellation list, so it's possible u could get in quicker.. ..something to put your mind at ease and get everything put into perspective I know it has to be scary and frustrating...as for your kids, if its herpes its not likely they can catch it via toilet seat or anything else..because the virus does not live long enough for that, but if your concerned as I understand you would be, maybe you could by some chlorox wipes or Lysol spray and spray the toilet seat, I have done that. I just had a breakout about 3 weeks ago and the darn thing is still not cleared up completely, the weird thing is I don't know how I got this either, but my doc did blood work and confirmed it. I really hope you get a clean bill of health, please keep me informed, and if you have any questions Ill try and help anyway I can !..hang in there! I believe everything will be ok ..ill say some more prayers too!...songbird

Thank u thank u for ur response and help. Well that lesion or whatver its called has since dimished a bit. It looked kind of like a mosquito bite but more irregular. The thing is this morning i woke up with two more itchy ones bt on the other side of my groin. The redness on my penis tip has gone away though and so have the headaches and tingling but i still feel a bit of sensation at the tip when i sit down. Still no burning while i pee bt the tip of my penis still jus doesnt feel normal. Im wondering if it actually wuz chlamydia and the antbiotics they gave me yesterday cleared the symptoms up or its jus coincidence and im merely passing the prodrome stage :( :( im so dam scared. And i asked the girl again if shes clean and if shes been tested for everything and she said yes and said she can assure me shes fine and that shes never had an issue. I might b worrying too much but i know how some people jus dont know they have it. I have kids and i dont want to give this to them. I still have a sore throat too bt slightly slightly better. Idk wut this is. My penis head looks normal now except for some tiny pin sized bumps that i can barely see so idk if thats jus me looking for something or it really is. I need to go to the doctor but my apoointment isnt until a week. Fml :(

  Hello Rs9891, I'm not quite sure if this would be of any help, but A herpes simplex 2 outbreak usually starts with tingling and pain sometimes along the nerve where a couple days later the herpes sore will pop up, that sore usually looks like a pinkish red raised blemish, but if looking at it closely would be several little water like blisters inside this red or pink sore, and they do usually itch and are very sensitive to touch, unfortunately a lot of people, unless they have a confirmed test of having HVS 2 do NOT know they have it because they are asymptomatic..meaning they never had symptoms. I hope all your other test come back negative as well as for herpes....good luck and ill pray its nothing!...songbird
