already said 3 days ago that herpes won't cause these symptoms for this long.

really not much else I can add at this point unless you both get some test results back.

I took a urine test friday. Because the doctor said we should wait for my partner test to get back first. So im waiting it out. But also my penis tip is still red! Have you heard of any cases of herpetic urethritis causing redness for 3 months frequent and sometimes burning urination is involved. And the partner i was with just figured out she was pregnant from another man. When she got tested could that be the reason why her cervix bled? Thanks grace you have been a great help to me :)

it varies.

at this point wait fo ryour gf's testing to come back and go from there. meanwhile follow up on your own end of things too.

some women get burning sensations and pain, others don't. mostly it's discharge more than anything.

Sorry im asking so many questions but do you know. If  those bubbles on her cervix would cause her problems like burning up there.

yes you would still be exposed.

the virus sheds from the entire anogenital area, not just the vagina.

And if she had herpes inside of her vagina and we had anal would i still possibly get herpes?

urine doesn't touch any internal symptoms.  

go and be seen today or tomorrow and get your own work up done.  herpes will not cause redness for 3 months - odds are it's something else causing those symptoms.

Ya but if she had those bubbles wouldnt it hurt to urinate. Or burn really bad up there. Also the tip of my penis has been red for about 3 months now and burning urination comes and goes but that infection inside has never left. Do you know if herpes would cause it to get that dark inside

yes it is common for females to have herpes lesions on their cervix, especially with an initial infection.   you also can have other infections on the cervix too. hopefully they did a full work up on her .

if she has symptoms and so do you, you both should seek out full std testing to see who has what. no reason to wait at this point, you can both get tested for the whole shebang of std's and then go from there. you might need additional testing later but if you both have symptoms it's important to know who has what and treat that and then figure out if anything was transmitted to the other partner.

make sense?

Thanks. And another question the girl i was with got a swab test done. I guess the doctor said that she had bubbles not blisters but bubbles deep inside her vagina and her cervix bled. So i guess what i was wondering is, is it possible to get herpes that far inside the vagina. Thank you. And im on mobile so its confusing i dont know exactly how to change it. Anyone else know what can be wrong?

go to my medhelp at the top of the page. click on it. go to my profile section . click on the edit button in the about me section. you can change your gender there.

you need to be seen and get a proper work up done.  you can get tested for chlamydia and gonorrhea now. you need to wait another 3 weeks for syphilis testing. you need to wait until 3 months post encounter for herpes, hiv and  hepatitis blood testing.

if the provider you see thinks this is herpes, they can do a lesion culture and typing of your symptoms now.  

don't continue to pinch and prod and try to open up your urethra to see down in it. all that does is irritate things even more!
