Atypical herpes symptoms?

[UntamedPineapple]

Symptoms first, and more background to follow.

Urethritis, no lesions, bumps (easily missed and could be normal) on penis that aren’t painful and are not red. However, the urethritis is painful. I’m almost certain I have oral herpes because I had a lesion about 10 years ago. Never had a second outbreak.

I started feeling tingling about a day or two after infection (unprotected oral). About a week after infection, urethritis developed - slightly burning urination, frequent urge to urinate, inflammation. Tests for chlamydia, gonorrhea, and HIV cam back negative. At first my GP, started me on a 10 day regiment of doxycycline to little effect. A couple days later I had feelings of epididymitis. Went back to the doctor, and I was given a single 1g dose of azithromycin (we thought it might be Mgen). With little symptom relief after 3 days, I’m thinking it is HSV. It’s been a little longer than 2 weeks since infection. Thoughts?

Note that if you already have oral HSV-1, then it is not feasible to obtain a genital HSV-1 infection from oral sex owing to your immune system. If for some reason you did receive an infection despite the oral HSV-1 then you would not experience much by way of symptoms.

Also, the nerves that feed into your testicles are not on the same sensory nerve ganglion as is infected by genital herpes. Anything that goes on inside your scrotum will not be caused by herpes.

You can be confident that herpes is well down the list of possible causes here.
