Good afternoon doctors I am a gay male, and before these two encounters I tested negative for all stis. But beginning of October I had an encounter with male which involved, mutual masterbation, frottage rubbing of penis together, and sucking each other off. Second encounter, 3 weeks later, was a 3 some, which involved making out with one male, and also protected anal on him, and the other male only gave me unprotected oral as both gave me unprotected oral. 2 weeks later I get what I know almost for a fact is an outbreak, started having, lower back pain, leg pain, and redness, slight burn when I get, and when i shit it hurt alot for a few days( inhave never received anal) i got slight stinging and itchiness on penis. It went away, and about a week later, got the same or very similar symptoms. I saw some white stuff around penis, that looks weird, I assume herpes bumps, do not look textbook, but look odd. I went to a doctor to examine a few days later, and I did igg tests, it came back positive for hsv1 . I amNow going through what I believe is my prodome third outbreak in the past month in a half. My penis has been super red coming and going. I do not want to go through a full outbreak again, can you please help me out on what to do, i will obviously talk to my doctors as well, but

1.seeing you guys are top notch what do you usually recommend for ghsv1 since its not two what medicine should I take? I have also had redness on chest a few days, and a bit on body, neck, could this be due to the herpes, or possibly hiv? I have body aches that come with it, but no sore throat lr cough?3.since i aquired herpes how much more likely is it I acquired hiv, I heard it makes it more likely, I am super scared. 4.should I be taking valtrex? Or any form of suppression therapy? I don’t want to keep dealing with the symptoms 5) I have a new partner can i pass hsv1 easily to them with unprotected sex? How about if they give me a blow job, they tested negative for both hsv1 and 2 6. What is disclosure form if you will, since it is hsv1 or not two or does the strain not really matter? 7) can you tell me about natural remedies such as lysine as well

Hello gHappy new year, the test was almost about 9 weeks post encounter wouldn’t that be enough time? Also by the time I went to the doctor it was a bit late, so I will need to wait for the next time they appear. They lasted about 4 weeks, but sith holidays, also was just too crazy to get appointments also. But I am 99% sure it’s herpes way too many symptoms. So Terri I forgot to mention I am bisexual not just fully gay. I am now dating a new girl, we have had condom protected sex about 5 times already, she got tested for everything a month ago, including herpes, and everything came out negative, so I know she was herpes free. Can you please talk to me more about my chances of trasnmitting it to her? Up until recently had no idea that hsv1 was able to be on genitals, and also that it was less likely to be passed over hsv2? 3 i’ll put three since I asked a few stuff already, but what are the chances that she gets it, if She touches a sore and then here genitals, or If I touch a sore, and then finger her. 4) she did this the other day and now has been complaining about lower, back , calf, and foot pain. Stomach pain I have also experienced it , so am now freaking out that I have it?

5) what is the chances that she gets hsv1 orally by giving me oral to sores on my penis? Or would it go genittaly to her as well? (She was hsv free both types before our encounters) 6) chances of her getting it genittaly, if we keep using condoms, every encounter has involved condoms7) should i take antivirals to lower risks? Is that something that should be taken everyday for hsv1 genittaly 8) i just remembered I also gave her oral about a week ago, what are the chances she also got it this way? She has mentioned all week a bunch of symptoms about lower back, calf, knee, and now buttocks pain, and headache, nausea, and now she feels hot, besides the feeling hot part, that is how I started to notice my symptoms as well, any advice there, I feel she is going through prodome I am freaking out
