Back in feb 2006 (almost a year ago) I
noticed a rash around my penis along with
burning when I urinate and ejaculate. It
went on for several months, sort of coming
and going. Sometimes the rash was hardly
there and other times it was really bad.
I got tested for stds, chlamydia,
gonorrhea, syphilis and hiv - all
negative. But they treated me for
chlamydia and gonorrhea anyway. I took
the full amount of antibiotics. The rash
and pain when urinating went away, but not
totally. And then less than a week later
came back and I have had the problem all
summer and winter.
About three weeks ago I noticed these
bumps filled with clear liquid on my
penis. I have a small cluster of about 5
or 6 of them. The cluster was no bigger
than a pensil eraser. I went to the
doctor today and she said they were hpv
(genital warts) and burned them off.
(maybe she was incorrect because they sure
looked like herpes to me) she said that
the burning and rash could possibly be
genital herpes and gave me a urine and
blood test. I don't get the results back
for three days.
But i'm really scared.
Is it common to have a continual genital
herpes outbreak for several months? I
know that you can only have rashes and
painful urination w/o actually having any
sores. What else could it be?
