concerned about herpes

saturday night i had unprotected sex. it wasn't with any hooker or anything. just a friend but she's sexually active and i'm not.

next day i start to feel pain in my testicular area so i go to the doctor and she said nothing to worry about, it could be epididimitis and got me to test for gonorrea and chlamydia. i don't have the results as of yet. the doctor though prescribed me to take ciprofloxacin

i didn't have any pain while urinating or notice any puss coming out of my penis, although i did have a slight fever sunday night but went away by monday night.

today, thursday, i wake up and my pubic area is burning. it doesn't itch or anything but it just feels like it's burning. it is only on my pubic area. i still don't feel any discomfort when peeing or noticed any puss coming out of my penis. my testicular area on the right side still gives me a little bit discomfort.

i'm extremely worried that this is herpes because from what i've heard it got symptons of herpes. first outbreak couple of days later after unprotected sex, fever etc.

i'm going to make another visit to the doctor and find out why i have this burning feeling in my pubic hair but can any of you guys try and give me a diagnosis?

Um, before you conclude that your partner was lying to you, why can't you accept that perhaps none of this is related to an STD? Really, your symptoms sound very nonspecific.

If you feel you have a hernia, you need to see your family doctor. I doubt that is what this is, though. You seem hell-bent on surfing the web trying to wrap your symptoms into a bundle that you yourself can "diagnose," even though I've seen no statements from you indicating you are professionally trained to recognize your symptoms as, well, as anything.

Sounds more like anxiety than anything else. Maybe you're just not ready to have sexual relationships yet - too anxiety provoking. Didn't you say you were a virgin?  If you are planning to be sexual, you must accept that there is some risk involved - whether that be a physical risk, like an STD, or an emotional risk, like being hurt by someone you really like.

Maybe you're not ready to have sex. I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that your partner is lying, though. That's really shortsighted and immature.

also she is the only person i can get anything out of since she was my first. and if she is saying that she has nothing and i have something then she is lying to me.

i did talk to her and told her that i've been having symptons and am going to get tested and she said she's clean because she recently got tested and everything came out negative. i told her just in case do it again so she said that she will.

i don't know whether i should believe her or not. she is a close friend though.

anyways, back to my problem, from reading some of the problems that are close to my problems on this website, it seems like you can't herpes on the pubic area region? is that true?

i also checked the side effects for cipro and it does indicate that if you feel burning sensation on the skin, stop taking the medication.

i will be making another appointment with the doctor to clear this all up.

it's just weird that i don't have any problems urinating or have any puss. my main problem is pain in my testicular area on the right side and burning sensation on the right side of my pubic area. i'm feeling that these 2 are related because they are both on the right side and really close to each other. those are my only affected areas. i checked myself today for any bumps, pimples around the penis area but didn't find anything.

i was also reading up on inguinal hernia and im thnking that could be a possibility as well.  

i'm just waiting for my test results to come up. it was done wednsday (yesterday) how long do they usually take?

No one can diagnose you on the internet, not even a doctor.

However, when did you test for gonorrhea and chlamydia?  If it was sooner than 5 days, your tests might not be accurate, and one of those could be causing the symptoms.

The other thing is that you might not have anything at all, except anxiety.  

Can you call this girl and tell her you have some symptoms, and ask her to test?  If she has nothing, you didn't get anything from her.

You also wouldn't feel std symptoms the following day.  It takes at least a few days to notice symptoms.
