Could it be HPV???
2 weeks ago my boyfriend noticed bumps on his penis. He got tested and everything came back negative (gonorrhea, chlamydia, HIV, hep C). His doctor told him it could possibly be herpes or syphilis, and that if it gets worse they will biopsy it. He told me it hasn't gotten any better or worse in the past 2 weeks. I have never had syphilis (or at least have never had any signs of it). I know I have had cold sores in the past, and the last active cold sore i had was about 4 months ago. I got a blood test done and it showed that i have hsv 1 but not hsv 2. We had oral sex once, but that was about 6 months ago, and since then have only had regular intercourse. Is it possible that these bumps he has are herpes transmitted from me? If its not herpes or syphilis, what else could it be? Most importantly, I want to know if oral herpes can be transmitted by vaginal intercourse and show up on him as genital herpes???
I did post on the herpes forum as well, thank you. I was also wodering if anyone knows anything about this - is it possible for him to get genital herpes from me (I get cold sores) by having vaginal intercourse??
Bumps could be HPV, but if the doctor said it was either herpes or syphillis it is likely to be one of those two as he would of said if it was genital warts. For info on herpes, post in the herpes forum. There is also a forum on STDs for info on other infections
Oh i meant to add that i had a pap smear about 4 months ago and it came back clean.
