[Question #4793] HSV? Tingling & Burning on penis head, buttocks, groin, and behind/inner thighs.

Hello Doctor, I went to a Strip Club on Christmas
Evening and had 'protected' sex with a stripper. During intercourse my penis
was becoming flaccid and we stopped, upon which she began to masturbate me
(with the condom on) in an attempt to make me hard. She also rubbed my scrotum
'after' masturbating my penis. It didn't occur to me till later that vaginal
fluid could have been on the condom when she masturbated me and then rubbed my
exposed testicles since I had already been inside her (I also used
lube). Would this be a risk of acquiring Herpes? Also, I was sitting naked
at one point on a leather type sofa, is anything transmitted that way since my
bare butt and inner parts we exposed and now they're itching and
burning. FYI, I've experienced this tingling/burning on my
groin area before about a year ago and got tested and everything
came back NEGATIVE except for HSV-1, which was a blood test. When I experienced
these initial symptoms I went to the doctor about 3 different times
within a couple of weeks and they all said that it did not look like herpes
since I had NO lesions, sores, or cuts. They all said it was jock itch or
'Ballanitis" and gave me some ointment. 1.) could I have contracted
HSV-2 via her rubbing my testicles when she masturbated me with a condom on
AFTER I was already inside her beforehand? 2.) Does my testicles slapping up
against her vaginal area make it a risk for catching Herpes? Not sure if
they touched her.3.) Could I have caught anything from the sofa?? Keep in mind
other strippers use the same sofa every day and who knows who else has had sex
in there.

What could be causing my itching/tingling burning sensation
on my penis and buttocks/inner thigh area? I got checked out again and a nurse
practitioner said it was jock itch but I’m concerned since this happened a few
times before and these current symptoms began a few days after my incident with
the Stripper.
I’ve always used protection but I have received unprotected Oral
Sex from females a few times in the past. When I first experience symptoms back
in November of 2017, I went to the doctor 3 times within a few weeks and got tested
and checked out. They all said I looked ok and the only thing that came out was
HSV 1 positive by a blood test at Kaiser. I got scared but they assured me that
most people test positive for that. The 3rd time I went in during
these few weeks was because I saw what appeared to be a “sore” on my penis, below
my head where the foreskin retracts (I’m not circumsized) fyi. Here’s the
kicker, I saw the so-called “sore” early in the morning at work and got freaked
and later that evening after work, I went to the doctor and when he checked me
out, the sore was gone! There was some visible irritation but other than that
he said I looked fine. The thing is I actually took a couple of pictures when I
saw the sore in the morning and showed it to him and he said that it did look
like a sore but it’s gone now so maybe it’s not? Since my blood test came out negative
for HSV-2 he said that whatever it was it
was probably something I caused from constant touching.
A couple of months later I was experiencing tingling/light burning
symptoms again but no visible sores or lesions and so I went in again and had
another STD blood test done. Again, HSV-1 came out positive and HSV-2 negative.
I just used some antifungal cream and it helped.
So it’s been over a year and have never seen any sore or lesion.
Just the irritation symptoms I’m experiencing right now.
1.)
The sore I thought I saw, could any sore appear
and disappear within a day or two? I was keeping a good eye on my junk.
2.)
How likely is it that I have HSV 1 on my genitalia
and not HSV2?
3.)
Why do I keep getting these type of symptoms?

I’ve read on here and on the Herpes Manual that tingling
burning and crawling feelings on buttocks and thighs is associated with Herpes
since the Virus is located in the spine and that people feel this prior to an outbreak. Can you please elaborate on this?
After I had sex with the Stripper, I put a bunch of Hand Sanitizer on my buttocks,
back thighs, and groin area just in case. I’m wondering if that had anything to
do with what I’m feeling right now. The fact that these symptoms started after
the incident freaks me out.
Also, Iast week I noticed some tiny pimple-like bumps on my
penis that looked like black/white heads (not the typical herpes clusters) but
they caused me to worry and so I went to get checked again and they did a “Swab
Culture Test” and yesterday they told me it was negative. I asked what they
tested for and said it was tested for HSV-2 and not for HSV-1. What other
things could cause lesions or herpes like symptoms that is not herpes??
Where and how can I take a Western Blot Test and how long should
I wait after my last incident?
Thank You for your help. I’m just very worried.
