Hello,
It is my pleasure to help you,
I had gone through your history and understand your concern,
As your girl friend had herpes previously still she may be having the infection.The herpes infection remains dormant for many years whenever the immunity comes down it may flare up.
Genital herpes is not the only condition that can produce these symptoms. Sometimes, HSV is mistaken for fungal infections, bacterial infections, or bladder infections. The only way to know whether they are the result of HSV or another condition is to be examined by your doctor.
Herpes infection also produces pain and swelling in the penis and it can be transmitted by sexual intercourse.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions then please do write us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Thank you.
