Herpes from protected sex?
I have had two recent incidents of protected sex at a massage parlor. After cycling last week, I noticed irritation and some small blister/ingrown hair looking things on my inner thigh where my testicles rub my leg. I'm guessing it is merely saddle sores from cycling, but am ultra-paranoid it is herpes. What are my chances of having contracted herpes? Thanks
A quick update - I had a full panel of STD testing done at 5+ weeks after the protected encounters I previously referenced and all clear!
A quick update - went and saw a doc per your advice. He said it is folliculitis and gave me a prescription for an antibiotic cream. He assured me it was not a herpes outbreak. Thank you for the advice to see someone. I still intend to get a full set of tests at 3 months.
Not sure my anxiety can make it that long but I just need to keep telling myself that the odds are very low. Appreciate your response.
I was tested long ago for herpes. The irritation is almost healed so it may be too late. When can I get an igg test? Thx
unfortunately condoms aren't 100% protection against herpes, syphilis or hpv.
so what do you do? well you have symptoms so you should be seen and get them looked at.
have you ever been tested for herpes before?
have yo had your gardasil shots fo rhpv?
