Specializes in Infectious Disease

No HSV2 outbreak ever lasts more than 1-2 weeks, and herpes is not known to cause continuous urethritis. Many positive HSV2 blood tests are false; it depends on the numerical result. So you may or may not have HSV2; if you do, it isn’t the cause of your urethral symptoms. Find a doctor who understands HSV well, like an STD or infectious diseases specialist. Good luck.

It is very likely that your symptoms are caused by some other problem of the urinary tract. Best is to consult a Urologist
