Scared

So this is my story I had protected sex with a pro for less than 5 minutes. I was paranoid of having contracted an STD . So at 3 weeks took tests for a regular stds and they came back negative. At 1 month I felt a burning sensation in my thighs all the way to my knees and at times my lower back  I went to a urologist at 1 month and 1 week and showed him a flat spot on my penis and told him my symtoms. he told me it wasn't herpes and prescribed me an anti bacterial cream for a fungal infection. It didn't really help me at all..Now it has been 31/2months since the encounter and my thighs still burn and I have that flat spot (that I wasn't sure was there or not before the encounter) Could it be herpes I am scared to death. Would a herpes outbreak last 3 months .I should add goldbaums powder provides temporary releaf

No to your questions. Genital herpes is an STD. It requires sexual contact, period. Be seen by your doctor if your symptoms are bothering you.

Hypotically speaking if I do have herpes could it be spread if I wad wresling and some one scratched my genital area and then touched theirs after a minute or so? Could herpes survive on finger. As you can see I am paranoid about this alittle. Also can it be spread through sharing jeans , shorts can it be spread though Bath towels or toilet seats. I am very scared if I do have it to give it to someone in my household. I would be devastating if I had herpes bit to give it to some one in my family which I love so dearly will just kill me. Thanks for all your help Grace it's great to know there is some one I can talk to

could be many things. we'd just be guessing. best to properly follow up on it.  no reason to think it's a std.

Thanks grace but the thing is I never had any symtoms or burning before this encounter and I don't beleive they included herpes in the test that I took at the clinic but I didn't think herpes would go for 3 and a half months with no releaf

herpes won't cause symptoms for this long.

see a dermatologist for a proper work up.
