Hi
Thank you for query. I am Dr Bharatesh D Basti answering your query.
Welcome to health care magic.
I have gone through the details.

The chances of transmission of STDs is almost nil by the modes described except for few diseases like herpes simplex (HSV).It can be transmitted by skin to skin contact .HIV is not transmitted by these routes.
The symptoms may be due to anxiety.
Drink plenty of water and fluids.
Clean the area with warm water twice daily.

You can get tested for STDs if anxious.

You can get back for any clarification.

Thanks for the quick respond.
Even she was laying side by side and for some time she was also above me for some time, might have her under wear touched my penis.Still no risk.
I have visited one doctor and he has also advised my VDRL and ELISA for HIV 1 & 2 after 1 month. Are these test sufficient for my satisfaction.

Brief Answer:
Not a serious disease but can recur.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for follow up query.

Herpes can be transmitted by skin to skin contact or by kiss or by intercourse.
The chances of transmission is higher when active lesions are present.
It is known for recurrence.
It does not cause complications but can recur.

Condom usage can prevent transmission to some extent,as there are uncovered areas of contact.
The severity and frequency of recurrence reduces over period of days.
Avoid intercourse when active lesions are present.
Suppressive antiviral therapy can be taken after consultation with your doctor to prevent recurrence.

My result as mentioned by my specialist:

HSV 1 IGG :0.20

All negative.
I am on Acivir-400 DT which was recommend on some spots on my upper lips, but they are stagnant. Real problem for me is very high frequency urine , clear urine without any pain, but itching on genital, nose, hand , leg kept on switching.
What you interpret.? Still I have Herpes?

Answered by Dr. Bharatesh Devendra Basti (15 minutes later)
Brief Answer:
Likely herpes.

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for follow up query.

Herpes is many times clinical diagnosis.Igm and IgG tests for HSV may be negative in the initial phase of disease .If the specialist doctor has examined and diagnosed it as herpes, it is likely to be herpes.

The other symptoms may be due to anxiety.
Just relax, drink plenty of water.
Do yoga or meditation.
I would have advised antihistamine like cetrizine for itching.

Sir,
I had shown my report to specialist, thereafter, he had done a through test of genitals found it very clear, about the mouth where there were some spots he said that these spots has decreased, therefore as of now this not herpes. But I shared that I am having very high frequency urine and moving itching. He advised me Norflox 400 and Gabapin NT. And advice to relax and go for Urinary Culture Test. And said that you can have normal life.He also said that Without Sex or Oral, very less chances of diseases.
Your comments on above and Still I have Herpes or any chances.
Regards

Brief Answer:
Not Herpes

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thank you for follow up query.

As I have earlier said, herpes is usually clinical diagnosis. If your specialist is convinced that it is not herpes, it is not herpes.

The lab test is negative. It favors absence of disease. But can come false negative in initial phase of disease. So tests are not conclusive in initial phase.

If your doctor is convinced then it is not herpes. You can relax .
Take treatment for your urinary symptoms as per the advice of your doctor.

You can surely lead a normal life without worries.

I like to mention I had piles problem ( Internal), at that I don’t have bleeding. she sat on my back wearing her trouser and panty.
I might had also rashes at that time between my genital and leg.
After 15 days No signs of Herpes ( As no Blister with Pain occurs).

Present Condition:
Having Gabapin NT twice a day, no serious concern as of now, but following are the issues:
•     Random pain in groin ( Back upper thighs), Not Constant, generally in evening.
•     Same is pain in throat ( Not severe), No problem in eating

Sir,
Thanks for your prompt reply.
My worry even some vaginal fluid has fallen into my rectum( internal piles problem) or on rashes ( between my genital and leg) as mentioned above, still no risk.
Further, my penis has touched her under garment clothes having wet with vaginal fluid, without any insertion.
Whats your opinion after that.
Test you prescribed , should I take test tommorow which will be 16 days or after 28 days?
Out of the box question, I have read replies of Dr XXXXXXX Hook & Dr Hunter Handsfield, on medihelp, how credible their posts ? Just a Opinion.

Thanks again.

Brief Answer:
Consult your doctor for treatment.

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Thank you for follow up query.
VDRL can come positive with past or current infection.The titre value of VDRL is not clear.Please send the value.It suggests antibodies are formed against syphilis infection.It can remain positive even if there is no current infection.

Syphilis is unlikely to be transmitted by the modes described I.e sucking nipples or massage .
It may be transmitted by sexual route or contact with open wound or ulcer or blood transfusion .
Recall if there was any risk exposure earlier.

You can avoid intercourse for now with partner.
Consult your doctor for treatment .Usually penicillin injections are given.
It will cure the disease.
Wait for HIV results .
You can get back for any clarification.
Thank you
