Put things in perspective. If you live in the US, the statistical likelihood that you will die in an accident (traffic, falls, etc, etc) is 1 chance in 1,756 per year, according to the National Safety Council. That's probably far higher than the chance you have genital herpes.

So do your best to stop obsesssing about it. And don't forget your seatbelt!

That should end this thread. I'm asking the moderators to close it to new comments.

Thanks for the feedback every one... Ill try my best to move on from this and not worry so much... I know that I. Haven't had any real indication the I. Might have the infection... it just. Worries my because I know that I've had unprotected sex in the and have been tested for everything but herpes the doctor says that if I don't have any symptoms I shouldn't worry but it kind of hard to do when youread on online that people can be asymptotic for years and not no they're infected.. and I'm scared to get the blood test and find out that ive been exposed. I've finally found someone that might want to be with for the rest of my life.. it would kill me to have to tell him something like that.....

This questions are the same as in your other thread not long ago. Re-read the replies there. You are obviously obsessed with genital herpes, but it's equally obvious you don't have it. Do your best to move on.

Herpes on the back is more associated with shingles not hsv1. Hsv2 would not occur on your back but only occurs in the boxer short area. None of what you mention appears hereps related but only testing would confirm this.

Can herpes be raised bumps with no pus or clear fluid at all... I had 4small bumps like this come up on my back ...they were lined in a roll and the hundred said they looked like bug bites.....what  about the nerve pain mostly in the legs n but in hands, fingers, toes, and feets, and ears....the hundred says not to worry but I can't help it when the online Indo is different..... if it is herpes would the nerve pains by on going like they are or do people with herpes only experience this as a sign of an outbreak...like I said I haven't had any outbreak except for that  white pus bump on my pelvis and those 4little raised bumps with no fluid at all in them just in a roll on my back.. I had them for 2 weeks and they're gone now... I haven't had sex in about 9 months...

Hi and welcome. Herpes are not puss filled and numbness is a sign of a pinched nerve. If your concerned you have herpes have a blood test or have the sores swabbed within 48 hours after appearing. Does this appear as a herpes outbreak? No it does not.
