herpes Q

i had protected vaginal sex 3months ago with CSW, but i have been getting soreness in my anal region and i am worried about Genital herpes...is it possible to get out break in an area that wasnt exposed?

i am confused and nervous about this...its 3months and i am getting final testing this week...unfortunately there is no blood testing in my country (based in Europe) for GH...

thanks

be seen to have your anal symptoms examined again. this doesn't sound like herpes causing them.

hi Grace,

apologies for the mistake...im based in Ireland and as far as i know there is no blood testing even privately...i have researched this and nearest is UK..
they only do visual inspection and swab of area, but i keep getting soreness/cracking in my anal region and im freaked to be perfectly honest...

my Q was if that area wasnt exposed is it possible to be showing symptoms in that region as i would have expected something in pubic area or penis...thanks for the reply

there are blood tests for herpes in every country in the world.  In the UK, you have to pay for them out of pocket - the gum clinics don't offer them.

did you follow up on the other issues like I recommended in your  previous post?  

it's easiest for us if you just keep adding to your original post. this is asked in our read before posting post on this forum. thank you for your future cooperation with this.
