Hello doctors, thank you for providing people with your expertise it is truly appreciated. Reading your responses and insights provides great relief. I had posted here before as I was concerned about HIV or Herpes. I am still very much concerned about potentially having hsv2. I have posted on Terri warrens site and had a video consult, but have been unable to renew my subscription to ask my follow up questions. Brief summary: I have had hsv1 for a few years but never had a cold sore. About 7 weeks ago had an exposure. Unprotected oral sex and protected vaginal sex but the condom broke at some point. Noticed that the sex worker had bled a little bit. Since then my main symptoms have been clear thin discharge after urination, doesn’t happen every single time, but noticeable and has been going on for 7 weeks. Stream seems weak and not smooth at times. I have a lot of urine that remains in the urethra after urination and a lot of post urination dribble. Something has just seemed off in my genital area for 7 weeks now. No pain at all during urination or ejaculation. Post ejaculation I notice tip of my penis gets red and seems dry. I have had sporadic pain that lasts a few seconds and then goes away in my pelvic region, lower abdomen, testicles and rarely my groin. I can’t tell if the lymph nodes in my groin or swollen or not, they are not tender to touch they aren’t red or noticeably raised. I haven’t had any lesions or sores develop but I feel like Over the past week and a half I have noticed more sporadic pain in pelvic area lower abdomen and sometimes groin. I have tested 3 times from exposure. 

4 days from exposure : hsv1 - 1.8 hsv2-  .1

4 weeks from exposure hsv1 - 1.8 hsv2- .1

6 weeks from exposure Hsv1- 1.4 hsv2- .2

The woman I had sex with was tested about 3.5 weeks from our encounter and she sent me her results. She told me her doctor said she was negative for everything but when I looked her igg for hsv1 and hsv2 were both .9. I understand that this could be equivocal but it didn’t say negative or equivocal on the test. She is not even concerned in the slightest she has anything and believes she’s negative as her dr has told her so. Teri warren thinks my whole situation and symptoms have nothing to do w herpes. I’ve seen 2 doctors at urgent care who don’t seem concerned and I’ve seen a urologist who doesn’t seem concerned either. 

I have been losing my mind with anxiety and depression. My questions are as follows: should I be concerned about the .1 increase in hsv2 from 4 weeks to 6 weeks? Can you explain lymph nodes and it’s association with a herpes infection like should sores be present if I’ve had sporadic pain? Would it be weird to be having my urinary symptoms for 7 weeks if it was herpes related? I am trying everything to believe I am negative and that maybe this has to do with my prostate but I am unable to believe anything until I have definitive proof.
