Possible herpes?

[Stimpy948]

I guess my main question is how long after possible exposure do symptoms appear.  

I had unprotected vainal sex with a girl about 32 days ago.  2 days after that I started getting fever like symptoms but I went to the doctor and she said it was strep throat.  Now it's 30 days later and once again I have a really bad fever, night sweats, tiredness, and appetite lose.  I've also started getting itching feeling around my penis and genitals.  No physical signs of herpes yet, so that's why I was wondering what the time frame is like.

You kind of just got me thinking a little bit, are all my symptoms too early to be HIV? What does the time line look for that?

ok thanks, I kind of feel like I am amagining things too... because my symptoms align perfectly with the common flu, but that's why my main question was about a time line.

thanks for the imput.

Been in your position.  You are probably imagining things.  Bumps on the penis are normal.  Generally, herpes shows up within 3-10 days of exposure, and no more than 3 weeks.  So, the fact that you are at day 32 suggests you do not have herpes.  The  fact taht you are tired/loss of appetite, etc. probably goes to the guilt/moral problems more than any objective symptoms of an STD.  If you are 32 days out, go get tested in about 2 weeks.  At 6 weeks, HIV, gonorrhea, syphillis, and chlamydia should all be definitive.  Wait til 3 months and get IGg herpes test and retest for HIV.

update: As of this morning I have 2 to possible 3 red spots on my penis, right were the end of the head meets the shaft.  They follow a strait line, and are about a 1/16 round.  I find it odd that they are in a strait line and they dont itch themselves, just the genitals.
