One last post about possible herpes infection

[Noob12]

I have noticed one black spot on the shaft of my penis. I saw several doctors and explained the circumstances to them regarding the spot. I did not have sex, but my penis came in contact with the buttocks of a woman I think probably has herpes. I saw nothing that I could recognize as a sore. I went to an STD clinic and the first thing they told me was that it was not herpes (I was told friction burn; however this was painless), I went to an emergency room and they told me it wasn't herpes. The spot went away. About 3 weeks ago I noticed a black spot on the shaft of my penis and a brownish spot on my penis neither spot was raised, hurt, and did not itch. I naturally went to the doctors again and they told me it wasn't herpes; this is the first thing I was told by all of the doctors that I have seen. I even went back to an STD clinic and they told me it wasn't herpes. I had a blood test done at 2 weeks the first time this happened and it came back negative for HSV 1&2 (I found out it was too soon for a true negative result); I recently had one done 6 months after my initial concern and I am awaiting the results. Is it possible that 6 doctors (two of them dermatologist) and a nurse at an STD clinic could be wrong? Has anyone been misdiagnosed that many times (6 times in total)?

What is very troubling to me is that I had this happen to me in 5 months ago and to have this happen again is very suggestive of HSV. I have a very difficult time trusting anything else but definitive results like a blood test; I should have had those results today, but they are still pending

I found out after our encounter she gave someone else hsv (before she was with me). I did not know ahead of time and I didn't think you could contract it in this way.

What about this woman makes you think she has herpes, anyway?  That's a big assumption.

Stop trying to intellectualize your reactions. You are operating on underlying anxiety, not searching for "anecdotal evidence." I didn't realize you had been out doctor shopping, though. Maybe the next stop should be a psychiatrist or a psychologist. It couldn't hurt. At this point, it's all anxiety-driven anyway. You take care, now.

It is easier for me to be objective about someone else's situation because it is not me. I don't really have a stake in the claim. I have had injuries before which have led to serious problems for me because of misdiagnosis from doctors. I figure the more anecdotal evidence I see, the more I can put my mind at ease. Like a confidence interval.

how many times have you seen me ask folks to keep all their posts in the same original post?

You've been seen 6 times and no one seems to think it's herpes.  Hopefully your blood tests are back soon so you can move on past this.

I find it interesting that you can be very supportive to others and tell them to believe this or that but you can't follow your own advice :)
