genital herpes outbreak??

Hello all,

Approximatly 40 days ago i had an unprotected one time sexual encounter.  Just today I noticed a rad dot on the tip of my penis.  I feel a tingling sensation but that might just be my nerves.  Most websites i go on say the initial attack usually occurs within 2-20 days.  So since it occured 40 days ago am i in the clear? or should i go and get tested? anyone to calm my nerves i encourage you to respond

Its doesnt sound like herpes going on, wait and monitor for any other symptoms if you get blister, uclers, sore get swab test within 48 hrs. Learn more about STDs.

Once you suspected that you may have STD then its not peace of mind untill you get tested for.
