concerned about herpes
Hi,
About 5 weeks ago I believe I received oral sex from a woman I did not know. The reason I say I believe is I was really intoxicated and blacked out a bit that night. Within a few days of the event I had felt nausious, lack of appetite (I have lost 12 lbs in the last month), feverish (but don't thnk I had a fever), and could not sleep. I have also periodically felt lower back pain/heat and tingling in lower right leg. I have no clue if these things mean anything? Those symtpoms have improved but I have had burning/sensitivity in the tip of my penis for 5 weeks now. I have been tested for stds twice with the last time being around 3 weeks after the event. Everything came back negative except for hsv 1. The problem I have is I have no clue if I have been hsv1 positive for years. I have not seen blisters, no burn when I pee, no swollen lymph nodes. I do feel a constant urge to urinate. My gp gave me cipro for prostatitis and I have been taking it for a little over two weeks now but the pain in my penis has not improved. Lastly, I did test positive for h pylori. Does pain/burn in your penis for 5 weeks sound like herpes? Please help I'm mentally breaking down at this point.

Burning at tip of penis over 10 weeks. Should I take herpes meds to see if that helps?
Still burn at tip of penis. Should I just take valtrex or another herpes med? Would it even make the burn better? What else could it be?
Hsv1 is not very active in the genitals. Studies of hsv1 in genitals are not as common ( they are hard to find ) but from what i have seen is 1-2 outbreaks and they dont come back for a longe time
Last question is if you don't have blisters on an initial out break what are the chances of getting them on a recurrence with hsv1?
Also the tingling burning itching feeling people experience befor a outbreak is because the virus travels alonge your nerves. When it get to nervs that are small ( where they split off in your skin just below the surface ) it irritates them cuz they're small enough to fill the virus traveling up and out.
