Question:
I've always had herpes simplex 1. Ever since I was a child. I would break out in outrageous fits and it would last for weeks, and weeks. I'm 19 now, and up until 3 weeks ago I haven't had any sexual experiences. One night a girl gave me oral sex, and a few days later I started to have a burning in my urethra. I also got a little sore near the tip, but it went away. When I talked to my doctor he said that the sore was too small to culture. It went away in about 2 days. Now on my penis head there are these little dark spots, about 3 maybe, under the skin. I think one is a tad raised. I also have what appears to be an ingrown hair folicol on my scrotom.

I also have obsessive compulsive disorder. My main area of obssessing is over my health. For the last week or so I have been literally freaking out. I feel so... ashamed. I always, always wanted to wait to mess around, I always did. And now look what happened. The doctor did give me some medicine for a UTI, and it has subsided. I'm just not sure if it is herpes or not. I know it isn't fatal, so I'm not worried about that. I just feel, betrayed. I know she didn't know, or else she would have told me. I mean, 80% of the world has cold sores, nothing new. So my overall question is, is it herpes? The spots are very small, and dark red looking. I mean small. I don't know if they were there before, because I've never looked that hard. My urethra still burns, but I havent even started to finish my meds. Thanks guys.

Answer:
I feel for you. I have always wanted to wait till I was married. But everyone around me was doing their thing. And I was literally the last one. I - even now- (I am 22 yrs old) feel that if I would have waited I would have lost my virginity to my now b/f. We are very serious. If you read any of my previous posts you will see. He is very understanding. I hope everything turns out well for you. I have h1 coldsores and I think about it everyday. For me it is like the end of the world too. I come here to try to read as much as I can and reply to as many people as possible. I hate posting and having no one reply to me. I know how it feels to want to know how other people deal with this and how others are coping. Not to mention their opinions. So just hang in there. Keep on reading up. Go to the doctor and just explain everything to him. And see if there is a test he can do to check.
