Possible Herpes? Hoping not
by Zander09, Nov 06, 2009 02:37PM
The past weekend I had unprotected sex with the girl i am seeing, and we were fairly active. The following day (about 24 hours after the last time we had sex) I became quite itchy in the groin area, but could not see anything there. I had also been driving for 5 hours straight so thought perhaps i was just sitting uncomfortable. The itching lasted about a day, with it being occassional the 2nd and 3rd day. The 4th day I noticed pimples in the groin pubic hair area. There was a couple, I actually popped one and now I have a few. When I popped it, I only noticed blood coming out, nothing else. These are not painful or itchy per say, i just noticed them and now can't ignore them (paranoia at work). I also shave my groin area and had done so before visiting the girl i am seeing and wonder if i somehow have just inflamed the area due to shaving and then sweat, etc.
I have already disclosed my concerns to the girl I am seeing and she admitted to being tested a month ago and was negative for any STDs and I am her first partner after that. I have actually never been tested for an STD before, but have never had any symptoms like this before either. Also, I do play a lot of sports so sweating in that region isn't uncommon for me. The pimples don't hurt and the itching has faded though I think my paranoia in my mind has me creating itches that aren't there...
More background info:
There was an overlap of when i started to see this girl and was seeing another girl (also STD clean) and so I had two partners for a couple weeks. For the most part I practiced safe sex, but I know there was at least one occurence where I didn't with both. Also, I had a fungal infection on my penis 3 weeks ago as well and I just found out also that the 2nd girl i was seeing (but am no longer) has a case of impetigo (as she has a young child in daycare and they assume thats where she picked it up from). I have not had any intimate relations with her for over 2 weeks.
Is this just acne or have I managed to pick up something? I have already made arrangements for tests but am dying for piece of mind or at least a scenario of what I could have contracted.
Thanks for your time and expertise.

Those symptoms could all be non-related to std's. The only way to tell is to see a doctor about it.
