Question:
I'm deperate to get them answered. I am a female who has had genital herpes for over 20 years. I've been in a monogomus, married relationship for nearly all that time and my husband never has been infected. Recently I have a new partner and told him of my herpes before engaging in any sexual activity. As far as I knew, I was not having any active outbreaks and last week 2 days after we had been sexually active for the first time, he developed a irritated feeling in his penis. You cannot see anything, but he says it feels irritated and raw just inside his penis and tender on the outside. Also, he has a sore throat and swolen glands in his neck...no fever though. I guess my biggest question is, can a male get it inside his penis? All the pictures I've found on the internet show it on the outside. Thanks!

Answer:
The feeling he is feeling could be the prodones - the itching, tingling, burning, sensitive sensations that come before sores.
