Hello I have know for over 20 yrs i have had hsv that cause cold sores. I have fought two spot off and on for 9 yrs in my privates.  The doctors I have seen were Military, they always told me they were hair bumps. they gave me cream to use on them and would send me on the way. Back in my records in 2000 my nurse found were they tested me for the hvs type 1&2 and I was neg for the other other one.  I got married and I have been getting weekly treatment for my MS. They ran another test in in 2003 and I was  test and had both but they never told me!! I just found out this MONTH!! I was married to a man who I know wasnt faithful and now I am married to a guy who wasnt faithful I know its impossible to know who gave it to me. I would like to know what the brown color is that goes around the head of one of there privates?!  Does this have anything to do with the HVS ??  Could I have had this and never tested positive untill later in life?? These are just some of my 100 q-tion about this.  Thnk You I WISH I KNEW HOE TO PICK WINNERS LOL  :)
HiT hanks for posting on ChatDoctorIt will be very difficult to know where the infection came from. However, what is important now is to get it treated or controlled so as not to influence your quality of life. A picture of the brown spot on penis would have guided us better. However, herpes may present with sores and brown spot on penis less suggestive of herpes. You may have this infection for years and if you are immuni-competent, it may remain dormant. However, even without symptoms, the test may still come positive. Control of sores with anti-viral agent like acyclovir is very effective. Hope this information will hellish you good health
