NGU or HSV?
4 weeks ago I had unprotected sex with a female I had never met before.
Symptoms then followed about 3 days later when I had a slight head cold then on the 4th day began to have a tingling sensation on my penis. I went to the local GUM Clinic where after tests I was treated with 1g of Azithromycin for NSU.
Two weeks passed and I still had this weird tingling sensation in my penis (No cold or flu symptoms) so I went back to the clinic for another inspection. I was then told by the doctor he thought it could be HSV in my urethra, took two swab tests and gave me a 5 day course of Valtrex. I will get the results of the swabs in a weeks time.
A week has now passed and I have now completed the coures of valtrex. I have noticed a few small white spots/lumps under my foreskin now but they are >1mm in size and really need to inspect myself to find them. The tingling sensation still persists 4 weeks after first signs of infection, I don't have any pain, blisters, sores or flu like symptoms and feel really healthy, Is this really likely to be HSV? For the tingling sensation to last so long without blisters etc??
Any help would be really welcome
Regards
