Can Herpes Be Contracted Through Intercourse?
Question: What chances of herpes 1 time protect sex w/ unknown partner. 24 day later i have bump at base of penis. told it doesnt look look herpes by dr on here w/ pic
I have published about 2 dozen articles on herpes. Cannot say without seeing it. but it certainly could be and unless it is either long lasting and solid (not herpes) or if a blister (herpes) then it is hard to say. If it comes around multiple times then it is herpes.
