Sexual Health IssuesIf you need medical advice regarding your sexual health, ask Dr Tan. We are honored to have an In House Doctor who is here to help.
Thanks for the advice bro, looks like for my case, it is not herpes as there is no soreness and/or blisters, What is outbreak actually? Is it when the soreness and/or blisters appeared?
And also why is herpes encourage HIV? You mean even if there is no outbreak, one will easily get HIV if contacted with one with HIV?
mate... not everyone will have sores and blisters, some people have very mild symptoms that go unrecognised(Itching etc).... even when one has no symptoms, one can still infect his or her sex partner(s)... however the chances of that happening is lower than when symptoms are there...
the only way to prove one does not has it is to go for a blood test...
yes..outbreak usually refers to when soreness and/or blisters appears.
as for why herpes may people more susceptible to HIV infection, i have no answer to that.... but research shows that people with herpes are more susceptible to HIV infection...

Generally people who have ever gotten herpes are more susceptible to HIV infection, because the herpes virus affects the body's immune system in a way that it becomes easier for the HIV virus to infect the body. This persists even after the herpes blisters and sores have healed. Of course, herpes sores is also an entry point for HIV, 'Open cuts & wounds'

Bro...does this mean people with herpes has higher risk of HIV infection even with condom?
I have a small red bump like rash some where below my dickhead. It was painless, non itchy and is not blister like, no bubble, just a red bump. Could it be herpes?
I remember i had one about a year ago and went to DCS, doctor give me a cream call Dermasone, say it's just normal, not related to STD.
Went to DSC today again, the doctor say it don't look like herpes but better be safe to have a test.
Some question here, if one caught up with herpes, can we have raw sex with wife if there is no outbreak and his wife won't get infected. Is the outbreak refering to when the symptoms like the blister occur. So when there is no blister or sores, mean it is safe? Or if not, doesn't it mean that one with herpes will not be able to have any raw sex or bbbj with wife anymore and this really sound crazy.
Can you advice on this?
Also, for herpes, is it comfirm that there will be blister, bubble like spot? If no, mean chances for herpes is small?
I had got unprotected sex with 2 difference girl within the last 2 week, both are my friend and we have know for quite long.
Start to get worry now.
Update on the result, waited for 2 weeks for the herpes test, Result negative. Finally it's over, the 2 weeks of waiting is really toturing and stressful. The doctor asked me not to worry to much, it is just normal rash that could be any part of our body, but just that mine happen on the penis.
One question here, how does herpes transit? if i do not have open wound/cut etc in my mouth or penis, having bbbj or kissing with a girl without any open wound/cut in her mouth or vagina as well, will one caught up with herpes?
From what I understand herpes can only be spread when the carrier is having an outbreak. If this is true, then can we tell if a girl has a herpes outbreak?
Specifically, I'm worried if I engage a WL how can I tell from looking her over if she might have herpes?

60% of all those infected with herpes HAVE NO SYMPTOMS WHATSOEVER! However, they are still infectious and can pass the virus to their sex partners.
Those who do experience regular outbreaks can still transmit the virus in between outbreaks.
There is therefore NO WAY OF TELLING via a visual inspection whether a person is suffering from Herpes or not!
If you want to avoid coming into contact with the herpes virus, it would be wise to avoid commercial sex altogether and stick to ONE monogamous partner.

That does really suck, but I see so many FRs on this forum from guys who engage in condomless oral sex and french kissing I wonder how most do not eventually catch herpes.

Many already have it but since a large proportion (75%) of those who are infected are asymptotic (do not have any symptoms), they don't know they are infected unless they go for a blood test.
However, they can still spread the virus even though they don't display any symptoms.
