Waiting for test Results.

[thatguy18]

Recently i have been getting these tiny red spots on the head my penis, usually after i masturbate.They are the size of a pin head

They usually come and go, no pain, no discharge and they are no tender to touch.
I have not had sex for 3 years(2008) and it was Unprotected oral and protected intercourse. I was 18 years old at the time in High School.

So then i went to my doctor and I asked him what it was, he told me that they looked like fungal infection, dandruff and maybe herpes.

I have never had any sore that resemble herpes. Also, i talked to a health nurse at my local Planned Parenthood and she said herpes would have shown up no later than 5 month. So i took that as a sign.

So when i showed it to the doctor, he told me to get a blood test for herpes just to be on the safe side. And he said i shouldn't be too worried about herpes.

Also he told me to get Head and Shoulders and wash my junk and they should go away.
Once again, these bumps come and go usually when i masturbate, they do not hurt, no discharge and they don appear like blisters.

I am waiting for my results and they should be ready in about 48 hours.
In the meantime, if someone could give me their insight on my situation, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you,

canker sores are genetic however they aren't due to herpes.

in your age group, 1 out of every 3 people has hsv1. it is very common. http://www.ashastd.org/herpes/herpes_learn_oralherpes.cfm  has terrific info on oral herpes for more reading.

I just wanted to give you guys an update
I received my result a few minutes ago, and i am Negative for HSV2, which was my biggest concerned.
I do however am positive for HSV1
I am not too worried about HSV1 since the doctor informed me that A LOT of people have it.
I don't know how i got it, maybe genetically, possibly from kissing somebody.
I am in college so the doctor said i might have caught it from someone.
Also, I have never gotten a cold sore etc, however i do get canker sores now and then, my mother gets them too so maybe i got it genetically.
What do you guys think ?
thankyou

Thank you for you answer.
that makes me feel a lot better.

we don't know what your test results will be. what we are saying is that the symptoms you are concerned about, don't sound like they are due to herpes.

[thatguy18]

so will my test like be negative ?

[Mistakeguy789]

No Herpes 1 can't turn into Herpes 2.  They are two different types.

I do apologize for bringing it up again.
But since my doctor did bring it up and said that it could possibly be herpes. I had a few questions.
I did tell him that I have never had any sort of outbreak, but he didn't really give me a straight answer.
He just said that you should get your blood drawn. Which i did.
He did also say that herpes 1 can transfer to herpes 2. vice versa
I did not get a straight answer from him.  
Hopefully the test will conclude that I am herpes free. Until then, i just wanted to know what others in the forum thought.
Thankyou

didn't we already discuss your situation quite a bit in the std forum?

herpes won't just show up after you masturbate. use a good lube.
