.Hello Doctors!  I'M a male on my mid 20s. On September 4 i had sex with a prostitute while i was under the influence of alcohol unfortunately. I did put a comdon on but don't know if i put it properly. I'M sure i did. The whole exposure lasted 3 to 4 seconds. I check the comdon for holes with water and it was fine! 15 days past the exposure i felt burning sensation on my penis it was problably my anxiety. 28 of September i was checking on penis and under the backside of my penis head right under frenulum i found a small white head but the only way i can see it is by stretching the skin i try to poke it and squeeze it and nothing happens it doesn't burn or hurt at all i was tested on february for all stds and everything was negative except for oral herpes, now iam worry about my stupidity can you please help me.

Ok doctors so what are the chances of me being infected with herpes type 2 from this exposure in a mathematical way? Thanks this would be my last comment.

[Edward W Hook, MD]

No, as i said, the "white dot" sounds like it is probably normal skin structure.  I see no reason for concern and no reason to test for HSV.  EWH

Thanks for your response! So my exposure was very low risk. Does the white dot sounds like herpes at all? I been searching through the forums and people with herpes simplex 1 they are more likely not to have a primary outbreak. I dont lived in seatlle anymore sorry iam a least couple hours away from the city, i don't have insurance so it would be expensive to see a doctor right now! Like i said it only last for 3 seconds. Lets say if the sex was unprotected for 3 seconds its that what it takes to become infected or it would be several minutes? Should i even test for herpes? This was my only exposure since i tested negative in february what are the chances of turning positive?

Welcome to the Forum.  The exposure you describe was very low risk.  Most CSWs do not have STDs and even when persons have sex with an infected partner, most exposures to infected partners do not lead to transmission of infection..  I agree with the advice you have already received on the STD Prevention Community site- this was a very, very low risk exposure- it was quite brief and condom protected, thus there is no meaningful risk for gonorrhea, chlamydia or NGU.   Too much time has passed for this to be due to HSV which typically appears within 14 days of an exposure and it is too soon to be a wart which typically would take months to appear.  Further, in the location you describe there are normal skin structures which appear as "bumps".   I suspect you have “discovered” something that has been present for some time.  My advice would be not to worry and certainly to stop repeatedly examining and manipulating anything you see.  If you must you can drop by the Seattle STD clinic which is superb for their assessment.

I hope this comment is helpful. EWH
