STD? UTI? Please Help..
I am a heathly 29 year old heterosexual male. I have been seperated from my wife for about 5 months and have since had unpotected sex with 7 partners. Out of general concern I was tested (urine) about 6-7 weeks ago at my local clinic and a full urine/blood/tonsil swab a week and a half ago. Everything came back negative. However, they were unable to test specifically for HSV 2. She asked me some questions about my past and my ex wife with regards to cold sores etc, which she used to get on occasion. That being said she said the test could show positive regardless of type as I have been exposed to some degree already with her oral HSV 1. I have had unprotected sex again since my last test with 2 different partners. I'm also aware that it is possible some results may not show given the timeline required for infections to actually appear in a test. That all having been said, Just 4 or 5 days ago I noticed some pain on/near the head of my penis followed by some general irritation. It felt almost like a rash and left me with some small bumps on the left side of where my foreskin would have been but not below that line and a couple pea sized red skin discolorations/blotchs on the head of my penis. I thought it may be an infection from my regular partner as all of the area that is affected is there area that would be folded over or covered up with a fully dormant (non erect) penis as I don't normally wash after sexual intercourse and any bacteria etc would remain trapped in that region of folded over skin. I thought maybe it was a yeast infection and just last night began to apply some monistat cream to the affected area. Too soon to see any results. The head of my penis still burns a small amount and I pee a little more frequently with some mild burning on occasion but nothing major. I have experienced some mild burning when urinating after ejaculation in the past years but it would pass in half an hour to an hour. Also, there has been some skin peeling in the area below the head of my penis. This morning, briefly (maybe 10 seconds) I had a tingle in my scrotum, like the skin around my testicles tingled feeling like it was the hair follicules. It has not happened since (4 hours ago). Overall it seems as though the bumps I was experiencing have gotten better as has the peeling and blotches. These bumps never turned into blisters or open sores / ulcers by my account and never seeped or popped and were quite small. Obviously I am concerend about HSV 2 but I am concerened about everything in general as this is all new to me. I almost never have any health issues and because of that, the city I live in now, I don't even have a personal doctor. I have only visited the local clinic here a couple times for testing. If you fine doctors could please provide me with your thoughts on this matter and my symptoms it would be greatly appreciated!! Feel free to ask additional questions... Thanks in advance!
