Thanks for bringing that up. Genital herpes just about NEVER recurs so often that is seems to be present continuously. The frequency of your sypmptoms is another indicator that you are unlikely to have herpes, reinforcing my original message. eWH
I have a question about reccurances. How Common is it for herpes to recure so often as to seem continous? I feel like I have been getting lesions so often the past two months I keep thinking maybe just maybe that is not herpes that is causing my lesions. What do you think?
I suspect your concern about herpes is misplaced. You had a single, brief condom-protected exposure to a sex worker. Whether or not she has herpes, your condom would protect you. The lesions you think are herpes might b e but are probably not and your GFs symptoms are in no way suggestive of herpes.
My suggestion is as follows, YOU need to find out if you have herpes. Please remember that experts (and you are not) are wrong about 25% of the time when they diagnose herpes without the confirmation of a blood and culture test. You should see a doctor who can do a herpes culture or PCR from the lesion you describe. In addition, you should have a repeat, type-specific IgG herpes blood test such as the HerpeSelect. When both the culture and blood test are negative, you will know that you do not have herpes and that your GF's discomfort is due to something other than herpes.
To worry about telling her before you truely know that you have herpes is a big mistake and will cause you nothing but trouble. EWH
Forgot to mention that my sexual exposure was with a Sex worker. Hence, no doubt I got the diseas from that encounter.
