Immediate Help Needed Please
Posted: 11-14-05 19:00pm

I think I may have herpes, but i've only had 1 sexual partner in the past 5 months.. Would I have been able to contract this b4 the last 5 months or would the symptoms have shown up b4 that? I guess basically, is it possible I wouldnt have had any signs of this for 5 months and then the 1st signs show up now?

The other thing is, i'm not positive it's herpes... It looks more like a rash with some bumps in there, it's on the shaft where no hair grows, and I can't tell if some of the bumps are like the normal ones that are there or not.... It itches really bad sometimes... Non seem to be filled with any puss or anything, could it just be raw? Or something like that? What else could this be? Thanks for anyone who can help

could be just raw or dry skin, or it could be a form of jock itch. Have you been tested for herpes?

Anytime you are unsure as to your std status, including hiv. Simply go get tested. If there is a problem, treatment is available. If there's not a problem.. You get rid of a lot of anxiety. It's a win-win situation. Best of luck!

^now those sound like they might be ingrown hairs. But better to be safe than sorry; you might want to go get tested.
