Had Unprotected Sex. Red Spots On Penis, Sore To Touch, Burning Urination. Herpes?
I had unprotected sex with a girl on early hours of monday morning, she was texting me yesterday complaining that she had a rash and it was hurting to urinate.
Today i have noticed three red spots in my pubic hair and a few more on the shaft of my penis, these are quite sore however this could be due to me touching as i am extremely nervous this is a STD! Late this afternoon i started to get a small burning sensation when i urinate, not perticularly painful, but could feel it for upto a minute after flushing.
A friend of mine keeps saying it will be herpes? I am really dreading this...

Hi and thanks for using this forum for your health questions.
I am so sorry about what you are feeling right now.
Unprotected sex is a major risk factor for STDs and each time you are involved in unprotected sex, the chances of getting contaminated or contaminating others are real.
Fro the description of your symptoms, genital herpes is the main culprit here. However, we can think of other possible causes like chancroid, syphilis etc but these are less likely.
If the number of lesions are few, they normally disappear after a few days without any specific treatment. However, if they become numerous/extensive, then you may need treatment with aciclovir.
For now, i suggest you meet and discuss with you doctor. He will also run tests to make sure the other STDs are not a concern at this time. Also, he will determine whether for real you need treatment for this condition now or not.
Please, for now avoid unprotected sex.. Also, get protection each time you have sex for your safety and that of your partner.
Hope this helps and feel free to come back if you need more infection.
Wish you good health.
