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.

My Doc said we can't came for conclusion by the results because I went there on 10th day and moreover I was in antiviral med so he suggest to take IGG test on 8th week. I just want to be sure whether if my infection is new or not so I gave blood for IGG today, result will be in 2 week
My doc also adcived me to take Hepatitis B Vaccination. I toke 1 dose today need 2 more dose, 1 in next month and march 2011. I thought my sore may be syphilis so atleast I can have cure but its not now left no choice so I convince myself that I have herpes.

Hi Grace,
I'm confused more, I just came from hospital, the following is my result

Comments:Source: Genital,penile swab
Clinic diagnosis: Penile sore
Ordered: HSV Ag IF
HSV Ag IF Unsuitable(only few cells seen)

My doc said nonconclusive, there was no enough fluid and said I may have or mayn't have but according to the appearance it's looks like herpes and reacted for antiviral treatment so he asked me consider that I have Herpes. I did asked why it can't be some other fungal,balanitis, allergy infection again he said its reacted for antiviral.I can't come for a end. He also said Igg test can't prove 100%. How it possible!!!!! Grace what is your advice? but I'll go for Igg test after 2 or 3 months.
