You BOTH should be following up on this with your providers. A fishy smell is usually a sign of infection and should be treated promptly.

Loose stools since the summertime is also something that needs following up on with your provider.  

Herpes would be the least of my suspicions from your post.

thanks
my stools have been loose since exposure in july and they are either mucusy rocks or sticky and loose, but they all have the same exact odor.

it also burns when i ejaculate and during sex with girlfriend
both of us have a fishy smell and a nurse once told me fishy chemically smell is either herpes or BV or a fungus.

i worry because 10% of cases are not caught by blood test and hsv1 can be delayed in building antibodies.  i also developed a white spot on my tongue and white spots on inside of lips and i never had cold sores before

No loose stools wouldn't be an issue 5 months into things.

It's doubtful you have herpes anyways testing negative 5 months out.  also hsv wouldn't cause burning sensations every single day for 5 months.

Genital burning of HSV is not something that lasts this long if it has been a while. Sounds like you should get a prostate exam. I think you worrying about herpes so much has taken a toll on your prostate which means prostatis. When we are worried we don't know it but we contract and expand the prostate and that can cause penile pains and aches and what not. It is often called chronic pelvic disorder or something like that. Dr. Handsfield often tells people to google it and learn about it. As far as having herpes, if you are worried that you have it you often don't..
