Skin still burns

good morning, I just did an internet search on burning skin sensations and landed right back here on medhelp.org neurology page.  I have asked this in the past but it seems to be getting worse.  I rec'd unprotected oral sex in early December and have been freaked out I have herpes.  I tested negative at 11 weeks 3 days after the event but for the last few months the soles of my feet and patches of skin all over my body have had burning sensations.  I have never had any noticable sores or ob's.  I posted this here because of another post I read from 2000 in which someone had similar concerns.
Thanks

thanks for the response, the last test I had was at the 11 week 3 day mark.  That was the 5th time I tested since December.  The third time I tested, the results came back equivocal for HSV1, the 4th and 5th test came back negative.  The 1st and last testing included HIV, Hepatitis B and C, Syphilis, Chlamydia, and gonorrhoeae.  All results negative.  I did not have the burning sensations before December.  I have seen my family doctor who feels this is stress related since I was seperated from my wife at the time and are now back together and I have not told her about any of this including about the burning sensation.  Since my family doctor has not run any tests, what would be your recommendation?
Thank you

Hello.

Have you repeated any blood tests? And did you have this burning sensation earlier? There is probably a coincidence that this has happened after the event. Studies have shown that most of the herpes infections go without symptoms for a long time.

You must also consider other causes that might cause neuropathy. Rule out diabetes.

Regards
