Genital herpes

Hi there
I’m 31 years old single male. I had multiple sex partners, unprotected oral sex and protected anal and vaginal sex. On 6th Sept I noticed a small broken skin on my penis head I thought it just skin break but it becomes sore and grown, after 4 days I felt burning sensation on penis head and sore more moisture. I worried went to urologist, Doctor said its look likes genital herpes but he didn’t conform and sent lesion for lab test. I have to wait 3 weeks to know the result but he started the treatment: ZORAL 200(Acyclovir 200mg), ZORAL cream and WANMYCIN( Doxycycline(as HCI) BP 100mg)

I have been reading a lot about genitals herpes and its scares me, I feel guilty, total depression, spoiled my life and ruin my family even I thought to kill myself. I can’t wait to know the results what if it’s Positive!!!!

I’m in direction to get marriage, my family members are looking forward that how I’m going to manage this issue I had dream having beautiful family but I don’t think can do this. So I told my family members that I don’t want to get married and given the really reason, because it easy to transmit even if I don’t have out breaks. Yes I just destroyed my family! No others choice. They are very supportive, they say not to worried what ever happened it’s happened but they are crying.

I read the viruses are very active on sore in 48 hrs. Still waiting for my lab result, Lesions samples was taken after 6 days. What will be result???!!! I lost my hope after reading all the websites and articles.

Someone can help me.

I removed your other post in the other posters post since it's easier to follow up here in your own post.

At this point wait for your test results to come back. if your lesion culture is negative, follow up with a type specific herpes igg blood test 3  months after the last time you  had sex.

I don't believe that they will do one from a specimen from another country.

I'd look online for a local herpes group in your area and find out what confirmatory options are in your area.  

Honestly it's not unusual that you are hsv1+. No blood test will tell you where it's located. really not any reason for additional testing with blood tests.

As I don't know my test numberic value I'll test with someother clinic after 3 months, there is no westrn blot herpes test available in SIngapore. Is there any other way to take westrn blot test?
This may doesn't make sense but I just to know, possible to order western blot kit from University of washington.( I live in Singapore, I think the specimen has to reach them a over night) http://depts.washington.edu/rspvirus/herpes.htm

no way to know if it's new or old infection 1 month into things.

if you get a recurrence of genital symptoms you can get them cultured again and typed to see if they are hsv1. Otherwise not too much you can do to figure out if your hsv1 is oral or genital if you can't recall a history of cold sores ever.

1. Herpes virus IGG Ab I-positive
2. Herpres virus IGG Ab II- Negative
Tested on 4th Oct( 4th week after exposure) I did ask the Doc about numberic value but they un able to provide. Left no choice now!  Can I assume this old infection? I need to find some other clinic where I can get numberic value.
As I have other symptoms they did penis skin Scarpe and urine test and I also asked them to test for Hep A,C IGG.

Doc  gave B Braun(0.9% sodium chloride Injection B.P(mini-Plasco) asked me to clean my penis with this and apply " Biotine ointment(Teracycline hydrochiloride 3.0%).

My doc said my urine and scarpe test was normal but after I collect my result copy I found one of my result says

Description: Gram stain(Urethral smear)
Report Details: Urethral smear

Pus cells:0-4  Epithelial cells:0-4 per hpf
few                                  gram                     +ve                       coccobacilli

Is it says positive?. I'm going to call the clinic tommorow about this test. I can't understand what its says. Help me
