Is this herpes
Hi All,
11 days ago I received unprotected oral from a CSW. 1 day later I started to experience tingling on my penis, the tingling continued into the second day where I started to get cold chills and burning in my penis, scrotum and down my leg and buttocks. Over the course of the next 5 days the symptoms continued and the burning increased and was localised in the top right of my penis and then moved to underneath. I went to a doctor on the 5th day and got tested for the usual STDs syphilis, gonorrhoea and chlamydia. As I waited for my test results the symptoms began to subside, I got my test results on the 8th day and was negative. The symptoms began to subside to a more gentle tingling that is almost not noticeable however now on the 11th day I have a raised red rash that looks to be blistering near the head of my penis. Is this a herpes blister? Everything I have read indicates that the blisters should have appeared a couple of days after the onset of symptoms but I have had symptoms to 11 days and now what appears to be a blistering rash. I am really concerned and will be booking into a Dr to get this checked out ASAP but any of your thoughts would be much appreciated.

When the lil guy is already irritated, receiving oral can just exacerbate symptoms. If this continues, be seen and get a repeat urine test as well as a manual exam of the prostate isn't a bad idea either.
I wouldn't worry about having contracted a std from this encounter.

Hi grace, Fleetwood
So wasn't sure if this should be a different post or a continuation of this one. But its been about 34 days after the CSW encounter and most of the symptoms had subsided with only tingling around the head of my penis and scrotum almost not noticeable. In the period since my last post I was not sexually active with my girlfriend or anyone else. However about 2 days ago I received unprotected oral from my girlfriend and now the burning sensation has got worse in what feels like the underneath part of the head of my penis and what felt like the end of my foreskin, I also had either a burning or dull ache in my testicles along with lower abdominal dull pains. Sometimes it feels like I have left over urine in my penis as well. This has coincided with an onset of a decent head cold but that could be coincidental. If this is not related to herpes are these symptoms of any other STD? Or do you think this is anxiety based again? Is it worth me going to the Dr to get tested again? Grace mentioned when I got my tests it was too early. Also what are the chances that I may have passed something onto my girlfriend?

Thanks for the reply Grace, to be honest I am not sure regarding ngu was stressing a bit when the Dr gave me the results but there were several things I was tested for which he said they all came back negative. I will check though. I still have tingling on my scrotum and a mild tingling\burning sensation beneath my penis near the head 15 days after. These sensations come and go and vary in intensity, I will see how things go

Your std testing was done far too early for most stds. The only testing that was remotely accurate was your chlamydia and gonorrhea testing. I assume you also tested for ngu and it was negative. Even though you have a regular partner, no real reason to repeat your testing since your risk of acquiring any std from this was relatively low.
Your rash doesn't sound like it was herpes related. A newly acquired genital herpes infection wouldn't come and go within 24 hours like that.

yes I have a girlfriend, can guilts really cause those symptoms? The burning pain was pretty intense, the rash (redness) went away within 24hrs and the Dr said that if a blister appeared then he could take a swab to test for. I guess I can live (but am surprised) with guilts causing this but is it likely that it is all in my head? the symptoms especially the burning felt physical rather than mental. Could anything else have caused what I felt?
