My story - please help
Hi all thanks for reading my post firstly.
Ok I had been in a 6 year relationship and it ended. After I had a one night stand on a Saturday night, by the Wednesday I had pain urinating, by Friday my throat was hurting. I went to the doctors who gave me two tablets for what he thought was chlamydia and anti biotics for my throat as he thought it was tonsillitis.
A few days later a notice blisters on the back of my tounge and on the tonsils, I go back to the doctors but he says this is normal for tonsillitis, but I had very high fevers, had absolutely zero energy and lost a lot of weight. Eventually after googling what it could be for days I went back and said I want the blisters on my tounge to be swabbed. They came back for a positive HSV type 2. A week after this I notice a few very small white spots on my penis, I automatically presumed these were also herpes. This was 10 weeks ago now and they are still on my penis and the blisters still on my tounge! When I was diagnosed as having HSV I was prescribed Valtrex which I had two boxes. Absolutely no difference.
When I was 21 I had two small genital warts on the skin of my penis but nothing ever since.
I am a happy and otherwise healthy male. I do regular exercise, I don't smoke. The only thing I do every day which I can't help is be in the sun for 8 hours a day which apparently does herpes no good but could that really make my herpes remain there for 10 weeks without disappearing??
Do I ask for a retest? Are these small white spots on my penis warts??
Thank you for reading and please give your thoughts.

I believe in Australia swabs are rarely typed and assumed to be HSV2. Confirm this with your doctor, we have seen many instances where the doctors back goes "oh yes, it isn't typed you need a blood test for that".
Are you saying that you already have HSV1? If so then the blisters on the mouth have a chance of being HSV1 or the swab simply picked up HSV1 being present. You have quite good immunity to HSV2.
I don't think the white spots are related to herpes at all. Very likely you are being sensitive to normal fordyce spots or similar.
You are now week 10, in theory at week 16 you can ask the doctor for HSV testing, check that it is type specific although that seems standard given the relatively few number of consolidated labs in the country.

Hi, did you give the girl oral sex as having oral hsv2 is rare as you say the swab test came back positive for hsv2.
