It certainly has caused me quite a bit of distress as it has left me unsure if I am carrying a transmissible illness. I’m no longer with that partner so it makes conversations regarding STI disclosure near impossible with new partners.
I have had several Syphillis tests since then, greater than a month from the initial episode. Besides Syphillis, he also has a history of CMV.
All typical STI’s along with mycoplasma genitalium, hominis, Ureaplasma spp, and GU tuberculosis have also been checked with regard to the urethritis. A CTU and Uroscopy were also done. An ANA and Lyme test were ordered due to joint pain and swelling that developed in the first month of the lesion. But, yes, the lesion is the most disconcerting to me. I suppose it is possible it could be a genital HSV-1 infection? I recognize at this point that it is unlikely that I will find a certain answer, even with a WB.
