So I came on here a few weeks back and I thought I had one more question available that I was waiting to use, anyways I tested for hiv and syphilis on the 40 day mark I want to make sure i tested in a time frame that was conclusive, but now there’s a small raised bumb under my penis head I’m not sure if it’s always been there because when I stretch the skin it’s no longer there just some red area and when I let it go back it looks like it goes with the rest of the skin it just seems a little red and I honestly can feel it being raised it just looks raised, one question is does herpes always have painful blister, the bump in question doesn’t hurt or itch I didn’t even know it was there until I started looking for something, and what does genital warts look like when they first appear?

And another question is how likely does Hpv spread to the genitals from oral sex, and what are the odds of getting herpes through oral sex when no obvious symptoms where present

Threads are closed after two follow-up comments and replies or after 4 weeks, whichever comes first; or at the moderator's discretion. For your last thread, a month had passed.
You have repeatedly acknowledged yourself that you are continuing to ask the same questions repeatedly. Of course the answers aren't going to change. You are examining yourself too closely and I am confident the penile "bump" indeed is not new; and in any case no STI causes such a symptom. If you remain concerned about it, you'll need to see a doctor in person. You can easily find photos of genital warts online. Both herpes and HPV can be transmitted oral to penis, but uncommonly; and there isn't the slightest evidence this has happened to you.
I'll answer ONE more brief follow-up comment in this thread, but no more after that. And this is your last question we will accept on these topics. Repeated questions, especially when anxiety driven, receive no reply and the posting fee is not be refunded. This policy is based on compassion, not criticism, and is intended to reduce temptations to keep paying for questions with obvious answers. In addition, experience shows that continued answers tend to prolong users' anxieties rather than reducing them. Finally, such questions have little educational value for other users, one of the forum's main purposes. Thanks for your understanding.

Both the syphilis and HIV tests are conclusive at 6 weeks, but there is no appreciable difference between 40 and 42 days; your results are conclusive -- especially since you were at virtually zero risk anyway and did not need testing.
Please forum policy that does not permit repeated questions on the same topic or exposure. All five of your questions, including three in the past month, reveal your inflated perceptions of HIV/STI risks despite nearly zero risk exposures. This will have to be your last one; future questions on these topics and your inflated fears will receive no reply and the posting fee will not be refunded. This policy is based on compassion, not criticism, and is intended to reduce temptations to keep paying for questions with obvious answers. In addition, experience shows that continued answers tend to prolong users' anxieties rather than reducing them. Finally, such questions have little educational value for other users, one of the forum's main purposes. Thanks for your understanding.
