you need to go and be seen and get more follow up for these symptoms. it's best to do it sooner rather than later.

Discharge in men and burning of the scrotum/testicles isn't a symptom of Herpes according to medical experts.

If you didn't have any obvious blisters develop on your penis within two weeks from when you last had sex, most doctors would probably tell you to stop worrying about Herpes.

The scrotum is very sensitive and can become red time-to-time, you do realize that at any given hour your scrotum can shrivel up, expand, and so on which is all very normal.

i am seeing a white discharge and feeling burning in the testicles for some time now. im freakin out bigtime and it's messing with my head. i also think i have some kind of welps on my testicles but when i stretch the skin out i really dont see anything. but my testicles are red . can other things cause this besides herpes when you received negative test results for everything else. remember i had protected sex with a herpes carrier a month ago

it's not likely you contracted herpes. if you need the peace of mind then you need to wait 3 months post encounter to get a type specific herpes igg blood test done.

[thomas9]

so what should i do. should i go on and just continue to have an active sexual live. whats my next course of action.

nothing really sounds like herpes going on. all sorts of other viruses out there that can cause you guys to feel sick.

I have been called a hypocongreak. Sorry for the spelling but can I be so scared that I make the symptoms apear. I have no bumbs or blisters but inside my penis bothers me always a warm sensation also on my left inner thigh. Since then I have given oral to my normal sex partner. I did feel sick and then got caught in a storm.but now she is throwing up and not feeling good the last few days. I don't know what to do

the risk from a one time protected encounter is very low.  

did you have symptoms prior to finding out this person has genital herpes?

if you have discharge, you need seen by a planned parenthood , std clinic or your regular provider for testing. It's not likely it's std related if you used a condom though. did you also by chance have unprotected oral sex recently or any other partners since the partner in question?

if you want a herpes igg blood test, you need to wait at least 3 months post encounter to get it done. Your regular provider can order it for you or lots of online testing centers you can use at the appropriate testing time too for the igg test.  You are smack dab in the middle of some of the best health care in the entire US - you have good options :)
