    Could it be genital herpes?
    Okay so about 4 months ago I had protected sexual intercourse one time with a girl who later tested positive for hsv 2.

    I did not notice any herpes symptoms until about a month ago which is uncharicteristic because I have read they usually appear within 2 to 20 days after exposure. Anyhow, currently I have 5 I would call them bumps not sores because they are not open and look more like pimples on the shaft of my penis where the condom was covering.

    Im freaking out it could be herpes though. The bumps look a little red with a white center that is sort of hard because I touched them with tweezers and I could feel a center to the bumps. The bumps are very small and when my penis is erect you can barley see them. When the skin is stretched they are the size of a pin prick and are small little bubble looking things.

    The reasons I don't think it would be herpes is because they have been there for 14 days now and have not changed at all. I have read typical herpes sores blister and open and then scab. These have not changed appearance in 14 days they are just there and cause no pain or discomfot at all maybe just a little more itching cause I'm thinking about it. If you have any advice on what it might be it would be greatly appreciated.


    Like I said its about 4 months after I would have been exposed and the bumps haven't changed in 2 weeks. Also they are not real close together they are 5 spread out bumps with about a half an inch in between each one.Thanks.

    Most likely its just pimples or hair that's not growing in,but if you have anything on the tip of your penis around the rim like white bump's or flat type wart's go see a doc,, if your having sex with someone that has it aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah go see a doc!!

    Go to Google online and look at "genital herpes..." under images... then go to a dr.
