Genital herpes w/ fluid dripping out of penis
Posted: 12-10-07 05:02am

My question is really about my boyfriend. He just found out e has genital herpes which in fact he has had for years and did not no what it was so he has always used protection. Now he has something dripping out of his penis. I am going in to have a complete work up. But would you have a clue as to what he might have? I have not had sex with him since this has started but I am scared he may have given me something.

“Something dripping out” of your boyfriend's penis could a sign of a genital infection. If he always uses protection (such as a condom) during intercourse, he probably didn’t “give” you anything. However, you can request laboratory tests to confirm or exclude possible sexually transmitted diseases, for example: genital herpes, gonorrhea, Trichomonas, Chlamydia, HPV, Mycoplasma hominis, Ureaplasma urealiticum etc. You can consult your gynecologist about this.
