Possible HSV2 exposure
Hello All,
Approximately 3 days ago I had protected sex with an individual. She had a red bump on her pelvic region, which she said was an ingrown hair. The next day I asked her if she had any STD's but stated she only had HPV.
The next day I was really anxicious. During that time I starting having a burning and icthing sensation all over my genital area, including penis and scrodum, and thighs.
Today is Day 3 and the burning has stayed but is now localized to my pelvic region. The itching tingling sensation tends to move around in a few different places, but the sensation tends to move around to different parts. There are times when my mind gets on other things and I don't feel and anything. I have read in the forums that sometimes there is a psychological component.
I have checked my genitals very regularly and there seems to be some redness - a couple red spots - but its very tiny and i almost wonder if its irritation from my constant touching. No raised areas, blisters, or sores. My mind is always focused on my genitals and the possibility of being infected, however. I have a MD appointment next Thursday, which will be Day 7. I know it's still early to tell but does this sound like prodrome symptomes.
My questions are:
1) Should I expect blisters to appear anywhere from Day 3-7? I've heard it may take 2 weeks but that's unlikely.
2) Does the itching and burning sound like prodrome
3) If there is an order of symptoms I should be on the watch for
4) Any other general thoughts

A bump is not really indicative that this partner had herpes.
Look out for lesions and have them swabbed if they emerge.
Itching and burning will really proceed an initial infection, lesions will suddenly be there!
