Hi,
About a week ago I started having a burning sensation while urinating and ejaculation, I also experienced nausea. A few days later two small lesions (about 3mm) apeared on my penis, under the foreskin. I went to a doctor and he said that without a doubt it is Herpes. However I have only had sex once without protection and the girl has no symptoms, so I thought the chances on an STI to be quite slim. I decided to look into it online and looked at pictures of Herpes which looks quite different to my case? So my question is, are there any other infections which may be confused with herpes. It is now three days into my medication (Zelitrex) and I have seen no results. I also have a general discomfort in my groin area, had a swollen gland in my groin last week(before the ulcers appeared) and I have a sore throat. PLEASE HELP!
Thanks

Yes unfurtunately this sounds like genitial herpes.. It would be a good idea to get tested to be sure to ease your mind or tell you a deffanatel answer. I think I may have it as well and am scheduling an appointment with my Dr. To confirm.. This stinks but you have to except it and take a good look in the mirror. This changes the way you look at life but in my life I believe it's changing for the better.. You never know herpes may have saved your life.. Just remember it could always be worse..
