I wanted to provide a follow up. Also wondering if this question fell out of view. But in regards to the above post, I applied anti fungal cream to the bumps on the penis and they disappeared within 30 mins. However, I am still concerned as I still have the rash in between my groin/thigh, no lesions and balanitis. I was tested approximately 10 days after exposure for the normal STD’s (gon., trich., HIV, chlamydia, syph.) all came back negative. However I had frequent urge to urinate with burning and saw a urologist who diagnosed me with prosititius. Currently taking medicine. I was on doxycycline hyclate for folliculitis, a 10 day 100mg 2x a day prescription between days 19-29. I have a few questions still though:
1.)I’m wondering if herpes lesions would not come up because of taking anti inflammatorys, the medication, or because of anti fungal creams or hydrocortisone cream?
2.)What are my chances that I contracted the virus from my one encounter with the CSW and what are the chances my symptoms are the herpes virus that just hasn’t progressed to lesions at this point? (Day 34).
3.)Would you recommend blood testing for HSV?
4.) Did I test too early for the STD testing to come back negative?
Hopefully this post is seen. Thank you.
