Herpes?/Time frames???????

[Basketcase830]

The last time i had any sex was over 3 months ago. about two weeks ago i shaved my groin. a few days later i have a red bump on the upper part of my groin. Its only one red spot. it doesnt hurt or anything. it looks like a ingrown hair. How long would herpes take to show up is 3 months to long? and if it was a primary outbreak would it only be one red bump? How soon for an inital outbreak?

No. "Noclue" has psychological issues, not herpes. Although that "tmac" guy doesn't sound like he's in any better shape. He last had his "high risk" episode a year ago and he's still wigging about it. It's mind-boggling.

Noclue is like a runaway train, though. If anybody on here even mentions something that is a slight variation in possibility, he takes it and runs. He just can't let it go. I've already suggested he see a therapist. He's in bad shape.

how about false negatives?? Is that maybe what is happening to noclue?

wow.......one year, I dont know who you could go that long without a blood test or something. I thought about trying to get a culture done on the spot but i heard that if it doesnt rupture and you dont get it right away the virus can disappear or whatever it does and so will give a negative...thats what i read. So your suppose to do a blood with the culture and phyiscal examination and make a judgement call.....unless of course you keep getting positive blood tests. It will be over 6 months i think at the end of this month. Mine happened Sept 1st 2007. I am wondering if I should go get one at 6 months....I suppose I should....I am just sick of going and getting the negative only to read that it doesnt mean its negative because of inaccurate tests or antibodies not showing up (though i know it certainly helps). Also I am scared of getting the possible positive results, but so far mine have all been really low. So you dont order the test beacuse you live with parents or something. Go to the doctor and have them order it and have them call you or contact you where only you will get the message.

I remember your question in the expert forum and actually followed it quite closely because it resembled mine in a sense...anyone who posts in the expert forum with a blister of any kind in the pubic area I pay close attention to.  

Right now if I were to take a blood test and it came back negative (one of these days I'll find a way to order it, wish I lived on my own, would be much easier) and if it came back negative I'd be pretty confident in the result.  I'm going on one year since my risky act...can't beleive it has been that long.

yeah i dont mind talking about it.....i guess at this point i am off the valtrex again...this is the 4th day...so i guess that is all i will do for now...maybe get another test again at 6 months.....but if i get the burning again whats the point of doing a test.....i am very confused.

yeah i dont know either.....i had 3bumps/blisters right up by the shaft of the penis....they disappeared after a day or so.....more like 2 days. I started the vatrex the next day and maybe thought that would have been the reason. Dr. HHH said that they will always burst into sores but mine didnt and it sounds like yours didnt either. I have had blood tests at 4/6/8.5/11/17.5 and all negative so far. So yeah I dont know either.....my doctor said he doesnt care what the blood tests say...he saw what he saw. So who knows. At this point I kind of assume I have it.......believe me it would be nice if i dont have it...but else good it be. I also get the pain in the buttock which still occurs along with other symptoms that might be it?? they say the symptoms vary so much....so who knows.
