very educational... thks for the info...

Gd advise. Hope u r coping well.
Other brudders..I hv it too. Just wanna highlight that..this is one STD that not condom can prevent. I wear cap..but still kanna. Can't turn back the clock...so have to go on with life...but juz wanna encourge brudders out there to read more abt STD...cos I only really know about herpes after I hv it. Thats all I hv to say.

glad that ppl r accepting that this virus is not a severe 1.... i had it since my service time as all campmates all likes to chiong 1 so join them...was blooody shock to see the blister at 1st...duno wat to do with it..then go DSC & had it confirmed its herpesII... this thing will affect yr personal life alot alot.... u will lost alot of self confident which i did... did not get into much relationship at all.. 1st of all worried that i pass it to them... wld pals that have this pm me to share the exp we had?

Only had this for 4 mths...not much experience to share.

First I've seen this funny blister in my mouth... now I am worrying about having HIV.. i'm showing all the funny symptoms they are showing online.. The last time i cheong is a good 9 months back .. my herpes came with my hiv test 3 months back.. I know I've passed the window period.. but somehow it doesn't really justify the symptoms I'm having now.. haiz..

Is it herpes or HIV? Stupid muscle ache and funny tummy.. not lao sai but always have that pang sai feeling. common for herpes? and itchy skin.. can be signs of herpes happening again... but haha... confused.. If you were to ask me.. i think going for another test is a bad idea.. the taking results part almost killed me the other time.. now.. stressed...

Guys with herpes.. you have that kind of funny symptoms before?

Very educational. makes me think twice before calling for FLs even with caps...

do u mean herps bubbles will tend to cluster closely together ?

what happen when u burst them ? is it fluid ?

I have one red dot (only one) a year back. Not on penis or genital area, but at the pubic hair area between my dick and navel.
i burst it and some strip of cream came out (something like what u get when u burst a pimple on ur face)

nothing happen for one year. Then recently, some pimples appear in pubic hair region again. They are sparse (not close together but a couple on right and one on left. when i burst them, some creamy stuff ooze out


Does these sound like herpes ?

are normal GPs able to do such tests or i need to go to DSC ?

difficult to say yes or no...juz by ur description..only sure way is blood test.

ya.. go for checkup.. safer for u n for ur mind too..

herpes bubble dont burst so easily. your might not be herpes, but better to do a checkup to confirm.

and yes when there is a attack ...there are normally more than one bubble.

and yes it can appear on pubic hair area, not neccesary must be on dick.

better to go DSC.. normally GP will also send your sample for checking and then ask u to collect report after a few days. So why waste your time paying more???

normally before a herpes attack.. u will experience a very soar feeling on your groin area.. itchness next and then the bubbles will appear ..

HIV..Sympton doesnt includes a funny tummy. it includes severe "lao sai"

loking at the symptoms listed, i dun get any of them except for itch.

my pubic area has been itching for a year plus, even when there is no red spots. there is no sore or burning feeling.

when i got the one spot back in Aug last year, it was only one and i burst it like a pimple. then recently, a month ago, i had an outbreak of pimple on my face and neck. it came and go. And the last one week, the spots appear at the pubic (4 of them but all separate).

I read earlier that subsequent outbreaks are less severe than the first. If mine is herpes, it sure go the other way. The one back last Aug was only one red spot and now a few.

i'll go for a test. Thanks

oh okie i know le... but the problem is that my type 2 herpes is in my mouth..
