I stupidly had sex with an escort (I know.... Berate me as much as you wish) and even more stupidly I agreed to have oral unprotected (sex was fortunately protected) and she kissed me a few times. 

 

I couldn't see any visible sores but I am extremely paranoid. 

 

I noticed 2 days afterwards, but its been 4 days since at the time of writing, these little red dots (no inflammation around, about a few mm apart) on the top of my lip. They haven't changed over the past two days in size. I don't know if these were there before but I have gotten paranoid. Could I have caught herpes orally? And if so would I potentially have it down below too? 

 

The picture isn't very clear but hopefully you can make it out 

 

Currently nothing down below except an ingrown hair although I'm convinced I feel it itching/feeling clammier more than normal but maybe my mind is playing tricks on me. 

 

Out of curiosity and for the sake of my own sanity, how many days would it take from initial infection to outbreak before I can kind of assume I'm safe? Are we talking weeks or months on average? I haven't ever had a coldsore before so I know with some certainty that I don't have hsv1 or 2.

Thanks in advance

Hey @Answersplease55 and welcome.

There is nothing in the pic suggestive of herpes. A primary infection with herpes won’t result In indistinguishable little marks... but multiple lesions nearly penny sized across your lips.

If there has been no lesions appear in two weeks from the episode, then in all likelihood no infection took place. Best to test for a range of STDs though before sex with non CSWs. Having said that if she was a professional CSW she would test very often.

Thank you for your reply Wilson, I literally just posted another picture as you posted your reply. Any opinions on the latest would also be very much appreciated for an anxious guy

Have you always had these?

We know what you’re up to and leave it alone. You know full well they are fordyce spots and have been told multiple times.

This forum is not for your self indulgent fantasies. Please seek a fordyce or sexual activity forum if you want to explore any issue further and stop fucking people over on this forum.

Everyone has had a gutful of your shit. Do not post regarding fordyce spots again.

Good thing you are not a moderator, or else I'd care about your meaningless commands.

Good thing I’m here to stop you disrupting the journey of others. It is clear you do not care about anybody in any event except yourself.

It NO ONE’s fault but YOURS that YOU can’t accept that herpes is not causing ANY symptoms you may have.

That is for you to deal with and not avoid and attempt to foist upon others. That’s harassment.

      SUCCESS STORY: Herpes is an opportunity to built trust and connection through vulnerability.

      By CHT · Posted

      Hi "Jeremy"..... I agree, the topic of your HSV status does not need to be something you disclose too soon in a developing relationship..... get to know each other first....see how it's going and as it progresses, then the HSV issue will naturally need to be revealed.... it's my personal opinion though that before there is any sexual encounter you ought to disclose your HSV status.... I know some will disagree with me on this but, I think it is morally wrong not to disclose first.  This can be a make/break situation for most people but, again, I feel it is simply wrong not to give the other person the whole story since your decision not to disclose could put their health at risk.... that is simply not an option in my opinion.  Looking back to my "pre-HSV" life I most certainly would want my partner to disclose their HSV+ status before intimacy so that I could make my decision as to whether I want to take that risk or not....

      Thanks, CHT. I appreciate the feedback. The whole trauma of going through this has led me to figure out a lot about myself and my attachment wounds, so I'm taking courses to come out of this better. This girl really was my dream woman in so many ways, it's been the hardest heartbreak to deal with ever. I'm truly in a lot of pain, but using the pain as fuel to launch that new business and work with coaches. I also opened up to my family about HSV, so my parents and sister know now, and they were very loving and accepting of it. Since opening up about it, I feel way better around this thing. After opening up, I also found out that some mutual friends in our family have discordant couples who are married with children, so HSV hasn't stopped them from living a loving life. The thing is... all of these couples I mention did not disclose until 6-8 months into the relationship. So now I'm thinking it might be better not to disclose until I know things are very serious. I'll of course stay on the medication and use protection, but maybe this is a better route than disclosing upfront and scaring women off.

      Could this be hsv-2?

      By WilsoInAus · Posted

      Hey @Lcj987 and welcome to the website. You can be sure that isn't HSV-2, looks nothing like it. It is much more likely to be folliculitis or inflamed fordyce spots.

      Unsure if Herpes, awaiting swabs, need help

      By WilsoInAus · Posted

      Hey @JackThrowAway herpes causes an outbreak where it enters the body first and maybe a progressive spread. If it doesn't cause an outbreak at the entry site then it won't cause one elsewhere, it also won't 'jump' upon infection - it would be more likely that the lesions are continuous from the penis to the anus. Nevertheless, testing trumps symptoms or any interpretation of symptoms. The correct conclusive result arises when: you have a positive swab; or An IgG HSV-2 level over 3.5 (Herpeselect test).

      Could this be hsv-2?

      By Lcj987 · Posted

      Slept with someone unprotected, roughly 2 weeks ago now. I felt generally unwell the couple of days after but I’d been drinking the whole weekend and didn’t have much sleep either of the days of that weekend so put it down to that. 6 days after I noticed these spots appear on the shaft of my penis. Along with symptoms of discomfort in my shaft in the couple of days prior to them appearing. No pain when urinating at all that I have noticed. They don’t hurt, itch or tingle and they don’t have fluid in from what I can see or feel if I squeeze them and have never burst? I went to a sexual health clinic to get checked up, they took bloods to do a full test and looked at the spots but said they saw nothing that concerned them but I’m not sure about that, any advice? The smaller spots under the shaft are just follicles I had diagnosed years ago and non-sti related.
