Question 1

what does herpes  on a mans penis look like?

Accepted Answer

Herpes: Can look like a raised lesion or as it opens it can resemble an ulceration and even be weepy.

Question 2

what are the signs of herpes in men they wouldn?t notice?

Accepted Answer

Ulcers!: Genital herpes is a viral infection that most commonly presents w/ painful sores or ulcers in the genital area. Outbreak can start as pain & itching. There may be small red bumps or tiny white blisters. Some pts have pain w/ urinating, recurrent vaginal irritation, painful lymph nodes in groin, pain down leg. Inital outbreak may feel like flu. Sometimes no symptoms . Culture of lesion diagnostic.

Question 3

does herpes affect fertility in men or women?

Accepted Answer

Not really: They remain at their baseline for fertility. However, a baby born vaginally during a primary outbreak has 30% risk of life threatening herpes disease. This drops to &lt;5% with later outbreaks. A c-section prior to labor is protective. Other than the inconvenient &amp; bothersome nature of the outbreaks infected people have families if they choose to.

Question 4

can herpes simplex type 2 affect fertility in women and in men?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: The main extragenital complications of gential herpes simplex infection include hsv meningitis and proctitits. I don't know of any occurrences of hsv orchitis in men or involvement of the seminal vesicles, bulbourethrals, or prostate, which may affect male fertility. Similarly, female fertility is unlikely to be affected by hsv alone. The main concern is vertical transmission during pregnancy.

Question 5

what is genital herpes? does it occur in both men and women? if so, what are the symptoms in both cases ?

Accepted Answer

Herpes is an STD: Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted infection, that occurs in both men and women. Many people who have it don't know they have it because they may have few to absent symptoms. Symptoms are different for different people, but many people describe a tingling, burning, or itchy sensation with or without little blisters. Symptoms can be very mild or very severe. It is a very common virus.

Question 6

i cultured positive for herpes.  my igg/igm were negative.  i dated two men during that time prior to exposure. one i kissed platonically. the other i slept with.

the one i had sex with was tested a month  had igg of 26.  did he give it to me?

Accepted Answer

More info needed: Was the positive test oral or genital? It's rare to catch herpes from a platonic kiss. Your sexual exposure was with a partner who almost certainly is infected. If new genital infection, that person is the source. However, 30% of people with HSV1 have negative blood tests. If your positive test is HSV1 not HSV2, and especially if oral, you've had it a long time, not from either of these persons

Question 7

how easy is it to spread hsv type ii genital herpes amongst men?

Accepted Answer

It is very contagiou: It is very contagious during outbreak of the genital herpes.

Question 8

herpes that appears with blisters on the penis have cures and what is the best med to cure herpes and what is the best med for candida albian in men?

Accepted Answer

No cure: There is presently no cure for herpes. Clotrimazole or ketoconazole will treat candida.

Question 9

i have to kiss two men in a play, and i am worried about possible herpes. neither have sores at the moment, but recently my bottom lip has felt weird?

Accepted Answer

Very low risk: This could be a risk if you haven't had oral herpes. (If you have, you're highly resistant to a new infection with HSV1.) But the risk is very low if neither of your fellow actors has a cold sore. I would guess that without a visible outbreak, less than one kiss in 10,000 leads to herpes. "Felt weird" isn't a herpes symptom. If no visible sores on their lips, you shouldn't worry. Break a leg!

Question 10

how accurate is 12 weeks negative  stds blood test after exposure with unknown status men? hiv elisa, rpr, hbsag, hcv, herpes.. can i stop worrying

Accepted Answer

No more exposures?: If a woman is a worrier, she will worry until she stops exposing herself. So, at this time she can stop worrying and stop exposing herself. If she decides to expose herself again, she will worry again. It's a choice to expose or not to expose; thus, the worrying is her own consequence within her control.
