Just wondering if it is ?

by Vinny_Dee, Feb 16, 2005 12:00AM
I wrote a question a few months ago. I am a male 25, who had unprotected sex about 6 months ago. I got tested for gon. + chlymedia, uti and hiv and all negative. I constantly have redness under my forskin, like a ring. I have redness with small bumps around the meatus of my penis. I mean it has been constant for the last 6months. Just wondering can this be herpes, and be constant all the time. I thought herpes would come and go. I have put some anti-fung cream and seems to work.



The red bumps on the side of the meatus are very small and DO NOT look like pimples or filled with any sort of fluid.



Just wondering if this herpes ?? i mean when i had sex with this girl my penis was inserted for about 30 seconds, with no condom. Is it possible to catch herpes in such a short time.



Oh yeah i am an uncirumisized male, if that makes a difference.



Thank you for your help



Marco



P.S If you have any good pics of what you think it could be can you post a link

Almost certainly this isn't herpes.  If it is HPV, it is quite atypical, and a fungal infection should have responded to the medications you tried.  I don't have any other ideas.  You need to see a dermatologist.



Yes, herpes could be acquired from the brief encounter you describe.



Good luck--  HHH, MD
