[Question #1468] Is it herpes or something else

Hi Doc,
I am an older guy who
got hooked up with a swinging couple. The woman performed oral on me for about 20
seconds. About two weeks later I develop two flat red spots on the upper shaft
of my penis about a half inch below the main hairline. I keep trim there and
the hair was stating to grow back on the upper shaft where the red spots
[bumps] were. There was NO fluid in them and they were spaced about ¾ of inch
apart. They were entirely painless and the slightly bigger one has a shiny look
to it. I could feel a thickness under them and that was it. The smaller one
took 2.5 days for the redness to go and the bigger one 4 days but being fair
skinned I could still see evidence of where they were and could feel a bump
under the skin for about a week.
About two weeks after
that my penis got tender and developed a thin slightly red line on the back
side only and a sensitive tip. It simply feels like sensitive nerves. No
burning while urinating it just felt like it might have been rubbing on something
which it has not. The head has returned to normal but the tip is still sensitive.
I have gone to the county STD clinic and have taken test for
all STD’S, no results yet. They did not find any swollen glands etc. They said
to wait another month before I take the herpes test. I also went to a urologist
and he could find nothing in the ureatha. He said he didn’t know why it was
sensitive but said the lesions did not sound like herpes.
Thanks
Dan

If someone gets HSV 2 orally, recurrences and shedding are uncommon and so it would be very unlikely to be transmitted by giving someone oral sex. I do NOT think you should be stressed about this, no.
You didn't answer my question about cold sores - have you ever had one?
