Do I have hsv2 herpes?

So about 24 days ago I had protective sex with a woman I didn’t know anything about. It was a one night stand. Right after vaginal sex only my penis started burning, later on that night my penis started to hurt like crazy. The following day I had clear discharge and burning urination. I went with my doctor and he gave me a shot of Ceftriaxone and a 7 day course of doxycycline. The pain and discharge went away for about a week. The following week I noticed my penis gland was dry and rough to the touch. A few days went by and I noticed my skin started peeling, while also having clear discharge. I also have tingling sensation, itching and pain. My doctor gave me antibiotic ointment and it clear the dry peeling skin, also the clear discharge went away. I also had a 10 panel full std test and it came back negative for everything expected hsv1, which I know I have. I’m still having pain in my penis, followed by some burning urination. Not painful urination. I also have a sore throat. Sometimes it’s constant and sometimes it’s not. I have been seen by 3 different doctors and they say it’s not hsv2 but all my symptoms are there. Discomfort in my penis and discomfort in my legs and twitching all over my body. I’m a hypochondriac and I read all the symptoms of genital herpes which made things worse. I started feeling every symptom. Has anyone had the dry, peeling, cracking skin that turn out to be herpes?

I do not think that this sounds anything like herpes to me. While someone could have herpes only in the urethra, that would be uncommon since most herpes infection also present with sores on the genitals.
Was your sex with this woman protected or unprotected?

Vaginal Sex was protected for about 2 minutes.
I have had extremely pain in my penis, constant urge to urine and also clear watery discharge. No sores, bumps or lesions. I noticed the urethane is a bit inflamated.

So the cracking,peeling and flaky skin of the penile head glad and foreskin isn’t a symptom of hsv2? I’m still having clear watery discharge. All the doctor that I have seen said my penis looks normal and there isn’t anything concerning. My tests for chlamydia and gonorrhea have come back negative. Should I retest for hsv2?

[Terri Warren]

Nothing you have listed here sounds like herpes to me. If you still have discharge you should check back with your doctor. I don’t think there is any need to retest for HSV 2, no.
