A member asked:
How long would herpes last ? i got cold sores as a child tested for hsv1 pos hsv2 neg 5 months burning sensation on foreskin doctors say not herpes
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Herpes I and II: Since Herpes virus can be present even without obvious sores, and therefore able to be transmitted to a sexual partner, it is difficult to know how/when to treat with antiviral medications. There are other causes of "burning sensations" , so see a urologist for an exam and possible treatment.
