Question 2

I was told herpes can burn through condoms and can be passed from person to person through sweat, how true is this?

Accepted Answer

Hsv does not 'burn through' condoms but it certainly can be passed from one person to another by contact with infected body fluids that may be on the outside of the condom and then touched by the 'recipient'.  It can be passed skin-skin contact (athletes: herpes gladiatorum), through oral secretions and through sexual contact.

Accepted Answer

No STD can cause symptoms in less than a day. If not much inflammation (redness, etc), your suspicion of miliaria (blocked sweat pores) sounds like a good bet. But see a doctor if persists or you remain concerned.

Question 5

The difference between herpes and hair follicle or a spot from sweat? painful spot on crease of bum cheek. it's dried up now. i do sweat a lot at gym

Accepted Answer

This doesn't sound like herpes. A recurrent herpes outbreak could occur in a skin crease, but it's not typical. And a first herpes outbreak would be at the site of inoculation, i.e. direclty on the genitals, usually with multiple lesions. Finally, deeper lesions typically are folliculitis, pimples, etc (think of them as starting "in" the skin), whereas herpes is superficial ("on" the skin).
