fever, blisters on testicles

I've just discovered about 7 little
blisters on my testicles and lower part of
penis. At the same time I have come down
with a fever.
Does this mean I have picked up herpes? Is
there a chance it could be something else?

well youn should go get tested if you feel
you may be at risk or have contracted an
std. have you had unprotected sex? or oral
sex?
my advice would be to go see a dr and have
them test you.

I've had a few different sexual partners
lately all using a condom along with oral
sex.
I will go and see a doctor to have it
checked out.

With herpes, if their are sores they can
be passed from skin to skin contact, which
some condoms do not cover. You need to
see a doctor while the sores are present.
If they go away their is no way to see if
they are herpes or something else.
If you go to the doctor they can give you
an anti-viral that can suppress outbreaks.
Although you will always have it the meds
can make it less severe.
Herpes is by far not the end of the world.
As long as you are open with the person
you are with and you take care of yourself
you will be ok.

What other things could it possibly be if
it wasn't herpes?

"If they go away their is no way to see if
they are herpes or something else"
If you have genital or oral herpes you do
not have to have sores to be tested. That
is not true. There is a blood test that
can tell you for sure whether or not you
have herpes even without an outbreak. I
know this because I have herpes and one
time I had a culture of the sore done.
The culture came back negative, but the
blood test came back positive. Either way
if you are positive a blood test will tell
you for sure. Please request a blood
test.
I cannot think of any other condition that
make you have sores. What do your sores
look like?

Ok, so I've just got tested and it's
looking like I've got herpes. Waiting for
the results to confirm.
The last girl I was with has been ill all
weekend too and she say she has cold sores
around her mouth. I'm worried that I may
have given this to her or she may have
given to me. I don't know her very well
but I really like her and not sure if I
should bring this up in conversation when
we meet this weekend for the fear it might
ruin things between us.

yes please be very open with eachother.
she also needs to be tested. what about
her or your future partners? They need to
know also. The best thing to do right is
to be open and honest with her, tell her
how you feel.

different people.

OK, we've both got it and we've been open
about it, although don't really know who
gave it to who.
My main concern now though is can this
damage the bladder or urinary tract or
anything? Since I've picked this up I've
been going for a wee frequently and a
slight pain in the abdomen. Waking up in
the morning bursting to go. Not very nice.

Does this mean I can't have oral sex ever
again without wearing contraception? I've
read it can be passed on even when sores
aren't present.

exactly
do not ever have any intercourse without
using a condom
because you CAN spread it
also make sure that your partners from now
on are all aware that you have it that way
they can go through proper percautions to
protect themselves

And you should abstain from any sexual
conact at all while you are having an
outbreak.
Incidentally, 1 in 5 people in the US have
the herpes virus and even more women - 1
in 4 - have it.
Most people have mild or no symptoms.

My eyes feel sore around the outside
although I can't see any sores or anything
and my throat has been very sore.
Does this mean I have both types of
herpes?

from what I know herpes does not affect
your eyes or bladder or urinary tract. It
affects your genitals. I know that it can
cause flu like symptoms and you can get
sores on your buttocks and thighs.
