How accurate

Anxiety really getting to me. Don't believe
I have normal herpes symptoms . But things
I've read match.about weeks after protected
Sex with csw oral and anal had 3 spread out
Small pinpoint bumps on inner thigh 2 on the
Other. Small amount of clear fluid not really a blister
And not in a cluster. Did not scab or crater .
Were gone in less than a week. About the same
Time I have constant irritation in urethra and
Tingling itchiness on penis groin and below
But cheeks on and of hamstring pain This has
Been going on for a month. Could this sound
Like herpes and how accurate would blood test
Be at 9 weeks don't know if I can wait 12

Hi also, you have a few things going on. First is that herpes sores wont be on both sides but are side specific and if your wondering if you got herpes from this incident, from the location of the thigh it would mean you already have herpes as this area would be for recurrent outbreaks not new infections.
Also herpes is rarely on the penis head but on the shaft and if you think you have a herpes sore in your urethra it would be very painful as would be an open group of sores coming into contact with toxic urine.

If you had a condom on for the oral and anal then your urethra discomfort would not be related to the act,

Urethra irritation for a month long does not sound like herpes. Herpes symptoms last about a week to two weeks at a time then vanish completely.  What you describe on your thighs sound like ingrown hairs.  Plus the herpes virus would first appear at the site of transmission.  For instance the shaft of the penis, the pubic mount, or on the head of the penis.  I do know anxiety can cause urethral discomfort.  I've seen it many times on this forum and people turn out negative.  Get the test to ease your mind.  And do keep us posted on your outcome.  ~Raddly

Anxiety at this time is normal, it happens with every concerned individual on this forum.  You had no visible sores, and your symptoms may be anxiety related.  So try and relax.  A 9 week test would not be conclusive but it would give you a good idea of where you will be at 12 weeks.  You may test now if you wish.  If you are negative we would highly encourage you to test again at the 12 week mark. (16 weeks is recommend)  Most people will already be positive within the first 6 weeks but for some it takes longer. Thats is why a follow up test if recommended.  Test now if you like, if you are negative, take this as a good indicator or where you will be at 12 weeks.  Until then, try to keep busy with other things.  Hope this helps.
