Ok here's my story. About 6 months ago I had unprotected sex with this girl 2 times. Haven't talked to her since, but about a month ago (5 months later) I got 3 pimples around my genitals. One of them was on my penis, and two of them were above my penis between it and my belly button.

I popped them and they went away just like regular acne and nothing like it has came back since. Only thing is lately my left testicle and abdomen has kind of had a dull pain, but there hasn't been any visual symptopms of herpes. So do you think this is herpes or something else?

The bumps don't sound like it but get them checked while there fresh. I got my first noticeable ob 5-6 months after I probably contracted it. We both may have missed the first one. But my experience has been anything but typical. being it was that long ago, go to the doctor and demand a type specific blood test if the blisters healed or scabed. If you don't find out one way or the other you will freak yourself out everytime you itch. Much better to find out and get through it (I hope). Your blisters don't sound like a typical reaction though. Wish I had more for you.

      @EssenceL25 there really isn't a question mark around the source, it's your latest partner. The median time from infection to an outbreak of lesions upon initial infection is 4 days.  The only thing that isn't certain is the type I suggest.

      I asked if it was hsv 1 or 2 and the doctor said it was Hsv2. I’m not sure i just asked him when he was tested last he said this year I said I think we should go test together and he agreed . I’m going to bring it up again cause I really need to know if he gave this to me I wasn’t sure since it was so close to my previous relationship.

      @EssenceL25 then it is all beyond reasonable doubt that the current partner is the source. A 'perfect' fit in terms of timing, symptoms and swab. It may be though that the type is not technically known. Culture swabs are very often not typed and just assumed to be HSV-2 if taken from a genital location. If you received oral sex in the days leading into 7 March then it is 50/50 as to whether this is HSV-1 or HSV-2. You could contact your doctor and confirm if the swab was actually typed (which is a second test where fluorescent antibodies for HSV-1 and HSV-2 are added and see which one 'glows').  If that test wasn't done then you do not know type. If you have oral HSV-1 yourself (cold sores) then this will be HSV-2. Does your partner have oral HSV-1? It is somewhat strange for him not to rush and test - many people have a 'reaction' if they truly do not know their status and have concerns that you infected them etc. (not initially rational of course). This indicates he may know his status - or maybe he just isn't simply the sharpest tool in the shed!?

      I had flu like symptoms and ulcers on my vagina . They did a culture and I tested positive for hsv2. I asked my partner to get tested he agreed but I’m not sure if he will cause he hasn’t said anything else about it.
