Question:
I'm really scared and i don't know what to do. about 1 year ago i had unprotected oral sex performed on me. a few months later i noticed these "things" (i don't really know what they are.) on the top shaft of my penis. there is about 4 of them. there really small and they never go away. when my penis is limp you cant see them but when it's erect it looks like really small piece's of rice under the skin. i am never in pain from them but every so often they form into what looks like really small zits. I'm very scared that i may have genital herpes. I don't know what i should do.
the 20th of this month I'll be getting my physical for the military and i don't know if they check for this. I'm scared to death, i want to go to a clinic to get tested but i cant bring myself to ask my parents to take me. my last resort is to ask my friend to take me to the clinic to get tested.
if the military wont let me in because of genital herpes I'm doomed, it was the only option i really had left. if someone could please give me advice i would greatly appreciate it. and anyone who knows how the military stands with entering with an STD please let me know immediately.

Answer:
Hi someguy,
do you have any other symptoms? any itching? if these spots never go away, I would doubt they're herpes... but it's always a good idea to check with the doc about this kind of stuff if you're concerned.
I really don't think the military would keep you out because of an STD... millions of people have Herpes, and live normal lives, including being in the military, I'm sure. so don't even worry about that.
good luck in your military career!
