this isn't likely to be related at all to herpes. Have you followed up on this with your provider or a rheumatologist?

yap. actually i even went for hiv test and it turned out to be negative. could i be having another std?is the problem of joint pain common to people with herpes?

[gracefromHHP]

it's time to stop thinking std as a cause.  

no, joint pain starting a year into things isn't due to herpes.

from your experience through interaction with people what other problem could i be having. could it be that i was infected with another std that went untreated?

so many things that could be going on from viral illnesses ( unrelated to herpes ) to lyme's disease and so many other things.  this isn't a std.
