Hi everybody!
I recently (within past two weeks) had unprotected sex with my girlfriend. She was using birth control, so we neglected to use a condom. About a week or so ago I had begun to feel an irritating pain on the tip of my penis, which I figured was due to my underwear rubbing against it, haha. But it didnt make sense that my underwear would be the cause of a burning sensation for a short second when I begin to urinate. This led me to believe that I, at this time, had an increase in masturbation time, and thought that maybe due to excessive rubbing and such my penis became sore. I have not masturbated since it began hurting, however. Now, the pain on the tip of my penis has gone away for the most part, and the tip isn't so inflamed anymore either. This is about 6 days after the start, and about 2 weeks after my sexual experience.
The other day, I did notice a discharge from my penis that was grayish in color. I was unsure if it was a pre-ejaculatory substance because I had just had an erection that came out of the blue. I thought perhaps it was my body just greasing up, getting ready to go. But, I could smell no odor of semen from the substance. This is what led me to believe some sort of bacterial infection.
So, after all the research I have done, I have deduced, and more of hopes, to a form of urethritis. After scanning over symptoms for other STDs/STIs, I have found that my symptoms dont match so well. This is why I'm asking for maybe a professional opinion.
Also to add, I dont have any bumps, lesions, ulcers, or openings or what ever on my skin. I have prostate problems in my family history, and I work at a garden center where dirt does get in my trousers.
Now to turn the whole story upside down. My girlfriend decided to tell me that she has HSV-1. I know that type one can make a living in the genitals. She did not have any lesions or sores on her lips, face or genitals, and she did perform oral sex to me. She had upwards of ten sexual partners prior to our intimacy.
I will be getting tested, but some clinics charge a heck of a fee for the tests, so I want to have a pretty good idea of what I want to be tested for before I spend all the money. Since in my area there are no testing facilities open at the time, I will get the testing done early in the week.
Thank you so much for taking the time to read this post, and I'm sure any sort of advice/opinions will help.
