I had a very stron pain in my anal canal three months ago, i went to one of the medclinic in my area and the doctor diagnosed me with anal herpes and she described me Valtrex 1 gm twice daily, i took the medicine for three days and i gave me alot of side effects and when i went agian to her , she told me that i can wait until the result of the culture to confirm, after few days , the culture was negative , during that perioed , i was very stressed out, i was not eating and was worried too much, after the culture, i went again and i did the blood test, and i wait and the result was negative for HSV2 but positive for HSV1 , another doctor told me that i am free from infection and i do not have anal herpes and it is just oral herpes and i do not have to worry about it.... Later on , i did the test for the rest of STDS [HIV, Clamydia, Gonorrohia & Syphilis } and the result was Negative for all and i asked another doctor and she confirmed that it was not anal herpes and it is just a hemorroides ....Everything was fine until i had a pain again, when i went to the clinic and the doctor examined me , she confirmed that it is a hemorroides and descridem me a cream for a week , i was fine and later on i had it again but for less painflr and short of time ......the questions i am having is :Is this herpes or hemorroides and i am still too much confused?
fyi: i received some oral sex to my anus.
