Ok, so I was diagnosed about 4 yrs ago. I never have had any signs or symptoms. I got tested cause of dating and found out. 

 

I never have had an outbreak so I am not sure if this would be my first. A week ago I was super dehydrated. My urine was brown. 5 or 6 days ago I had a slight burn when I went pee. I did not think much and figured I was just dehydrated so I drank a lot of water. 2 days ago I went to the Dr. because it still burned. They did a urine test and said I was still dehydrated and there was blood and bacteria in my urine so they think it is just a UTI. I have been taking the antibiotics I was given.

After the first day the burning feeling almost has disappeared. I did notice a little discharge, but figured it was just the infection.

Today it still burned just a real little. I was looking to see what was going on. I noticed inside my urethra there was dark red spot with a very tiny pin head size white speck. Both sides are the same dark red inside my urethra. I did see a spot that looked almost like a sore. 

I have never had an outbreak or any symptoms before. The Dr. was not concerned about it either. I am wondering if this could be my first outbreak? Is it normal to only happen inside the urethra? Im confused cause the antibiotics are helping like they should for the UTI...

No real reason to suspect this is anything but a UTI. Urethra issues with herpes are rare enough upon initial infection and even rarer after that.

What test did you have that was positive for herpes?

Thats what I was kind of thinking. 

I was tested and positive 4 years ago. I do not remember the type of test but it was part of a standard panel. When I got the results, I was a little surprised since I never had any sypmtoms or outbreaks. I tested a few more times and each said positive. 

I never had an outbreak or symptoms in since I found out I was positive so thought itd be strange to only have it on the inside of the urethra and none outside especially for a first time.

I have a second question. My GF has HSV1. I have HSV2.How is it that I can give her and she can give me if we both are positive?

      SUCCESS STORY: Herpes is an opportunity to built trust and connection through vulnerability.

      By Jeremy Spokein · Posted

      Yes, but every married person who I found out about that has this waited 6-8 months into the relationship to disclose it. But maybe you're right. If I had told her 6-7 months in, she'd still have Googled it and flipped out, and maybe it would have been harder then. I don't know. I don't see myself going through this level of pain and rejection so easily next time. I really don't. I'm taking the meds. I use protection. It's been almost a decade since I've had it so I'm not worried about shedding or passing it on so easily. British studies confirm that the first 2 years are the most contagious and we're passed that. I'm just over this. I've never been in so much emotional pain in my life.

      Is this herpes? I can’t find any pics that match this exactly and my symptoms don’t really match. I don’t have really any of the typical herpes symptoms other than pictured, so I figured it could be friction as I have recently been having a lot of sex with a new partner. Way more than normal. Started having unprotected sex about 3 - 4 weeks ago. These symptoms only started about 3-4 days ago. Felt burning in some areas and only some very few tiny red areas/spots appeared. Almost shiny in appearance. Seems to settle very quickly. They were only present for a day or so. Also had some very mild irritation after I pee but not during. This spot has 2 small red lumps that are now dry around the outside. It’s like it’s been rubbed off and the skin is dry and shiny underneath. It doesn’t seem to be lesion. There was no puss or any leakage, nor was the skin ever red under them. They also got better within a day or so. I still have red spots around but they are very small and not bunched together and some general discomfort but I feel it’s because I’ve touched it so much! Stressing a bit!  my research tells me friction burn/blister , Fungal ,herpes a bit of it all! I have no idea! Please help! Thanks in advance.

      @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.
