Still worried...

Aprox the middle of August I received unprotected oral from a CSW. The next day I had a burning feeling around the head of my penis and it seemed to be a little purple, no other issues, had some burning during urination, still do every once in awhile. I had urine and blood test done, all came back negative. I found if drank lots of water I wouldn't get any burning sensation, so I have been doing that. I was still worried about it so I had another urine and blood test done this past monday, now over 7 months later, I just noticed I have a red bump that is hurting on the inside of my leg, looks like a boil but I'm not sure, which could be a coincidence but I'm extremely worried I have herpes. I got my urine test back already from the test taken this past monday, they are both negative for chlamydia and gonorrhea. I haven't had any discharge, at least that I've noticed. I'm extremely worried, any idea how long it takes to get the blood work back? I don't recall how long it took last time.

There is really no need for further testing. Oral sex carries very low risk and your testing was negative for any possible risks (like chlamydia and gon) as well as no symptoms for herpes.

This will not be herpes, as an infection would have been noticed at the time with sores at the point of entry on your penis before any possibility of a sore appearing elsewhere in the gentian region.

Thank you, that makes me feel a lot better. Will still wait and see what my blood work comes back as. My doctor thinks it's more of a UTI or yeast infection, when I get my blood work back (negative I'm praying for) we will go from there.

This is a general ailment, I'd suggest you are clear of STDs. I assume the testing was comprehensive?

I'm hoping to hear back today. I had it done last Monday and they should have had had the results on Friday. She said if she doesn't call me I'm good. I will probably call them today just to confirm for my own peace of mind. Can't shake the feeling I have something.
Tried to reply but not sure if it went through. I had my tests done last Monday.  I think my doctor said she'd get them Friday.  If I didn't hear from her I'd be ok. But I think I will call today and just confirm so I have some peace of mind. Still very worried about it.

I've been Makin myself sick over this for 7 months now and I just want it to end.. any other advice?
