First if all sorry about my bad english.. Hope u can get what I'm trying to say...
I hade encounter with  genital herpes 10 month ago... I hade all the symptoms blisters and stuff for 3 times when only the first one was crazy!
Two month ago I hade the last outbreak and it's gone after 3 days... A week after I started to feel  a really tiny tingling sensation on the left side of my penis in the infected area where the blisters used to show... After few days it started to get stronger feeling and it was changing from tingling to burning itching and small pain like something is moving over there...  I did 3 test since I encounter with herpes but all the result showed I didn't have herpes.. But the fact is I know I have it because I hade the blisters... And the doctor also saw it ... I been to doctor again when it's started and he put me back on  acyclovir 400 mg two times a day and from little research I add to it lysine and stopped eating all the things that are helping herpes to grow..
It's been 3  month and no change :/ I feel like I can't deal with this anymore and I am afraid it will stay with me forever .... Did someone here experienced this or have some info about this ?? Because I didn't found much online expat here and there was no answers but the posts I saw was 4 years ago...and I really don't know how to handle this it's driving me crazy I want to live my normal life again... And with this I can't...please help me I'm lost...tnx from adven

Ok so I did the test one more time (igG test) and the result came back again negative for type one and two
I am so confused I was sure it was herpes it came like 5 times in the area down there.. It looked like herpes felt like what people describe online and came always after I got excited or felt down ...Zovirax was making it go faster and even the doctor saw it after the cold sors was there and said it herpes ... Now he said to stop with the acyclovir if the result is negative... And gave me voltaren cream for the tingling and burning sensation I have there for 3 month now ... It is helping but I know it can't cure the problem only make me not feeling it when I'm using the cream... I am really confused and worry ... I am afraid to stop with the pills because since I use them no blisters hade come no noting except the nerve pain... I have new relationship and I'm afraid to give something to her...what could this be?? What could cause all of this?? I still feel weird down there and I don't know what to do next... Tnx for help you don't know how much I appreciate this

It was 5-6 days after the unprotected contact ...and I lost contact with that girl because of this... Didn't want to speak with her again... And the fact when I hade the blisters and cold sores also burning sensation when I gone to pee  i call to set appointment  but it took few days so I search online and it looked and felt like herpes so I buy  Zovirax cream .. And it helped... I gone to doctor after few days and he saw the infected area after it's heal a bit he send me to to blood and urine test and the result showed I have only chlamydia ... The dr give me antibiotic for 10 days  and it helps for the urine.. 3 month past bay and then I saw one small open cut that didn't hurt on the infected area so I put Zovirax cream and after 3 days it's gone away ... Before 3 month I was in  India traveling and a day before I got back to Israel I was exited and then again I hade 6-7 blisters that didn't hurt much and they was close to the infected area ... I took acyclovir pills and put the Zovirax cream for 3-4 days and it's gone... And after a week or so ... The tingling sensation start in the place of the infected area and a week or two after it's started to get worst and started to switch every day from tingling to burning and them sharp pain and back ... The doc said it's nerve damage and put me on acyclovir but I don't think it is helping... I don't know if it's connected but I can add and say I hade pain in my left testicale for   4-5 years on and of because of  Varicocele problem ... And it came back few weeks before the tingling sensation started ... But this time the doctors are not sure its from Varicocele ... I am really afraid and seems like now no one can help me .... What do you think friend ? I am really lost ... I'm Almost not going out side not working ... I want my life back : /

There are other conditions that cause blisters and similar looking skin lesions, such as staph and fungus.

Still herpes needs to be considered. You must get the blood test results.

The history is important. What was the sexual contact that preceded the first outbreak? Was the person a confirmed carrier of the virus? How long from sexual contact until blisters?

It's not enough to just have a 'blood test'. Get the actual test that was applied and the results, many have numerical values.

If you've had the proper testing, then you may not have herpes.

You cannot know it is herpes without a diagnosis. Nerve issues can happen, but antivirals are very effective in treating this.

I did 3 blood test and all the result was showing I don't have nothing... But I know it was herpes blisters I hade all the symptoms of Herpes it looked like Herpes and came only when I was stress... Since the tingling sensation starts I didn't hade any autbreak ... My doctor said it's nerve damage... But I didn't found any info about nerve damage from gentile herpes .... And looks like the acyclovir don't do nothing.... Before a week ago it's stopped for 4 days and then it came back to the same point I was.... I see a lot of posts here about this situation but no answer... And most of the comment are saying it's not herpes .... Bot with my case I know it's herpes...

You must get a diagnosis. Although blisters is a very good reason to be concerned about herpes, other conditions can produce them.

So first, exactly what testing for herpes have you had done and what were the results. Be very specific.. IgG, IgM, PCR or whatever you have had done.
