is this herpes?
I had unprotected sex on Thursday. Friday I had some flu like symptoms and some redness and irritation just below the tip of my penis. There is a slight burning but no blisters. It has been 3 days now and the symptoms seem to be the same. Do you think this is Herpes?
Hi, having primary symptoms the next day would not be herpes related. Takes a couple of days from when the virus enters the nerve, multiply and have your immune system begin building antibodies which cause the flu like feelings.
