Do i have it?

[Fred R]

I received a blowjob from a stripper.  I got tested 3 days later. I have been sick with the flu and have been home absolutley losing my mind stressing myself to the point where I vomit. My results came back negative. But I now have a cold sore on my lip and I have some red spots on my head.

It does not itch or burn. But I do get a tingle once in awhile.  The tip does feel raw. Granted I have been examing and touch for last  7 days. Here is another look.

Hey @Fred R relax mate all will be good.

Note that strippers do not have a higher incidence of oral herpes than the general population, which is high to begin with.

You mention that you have oral cold sores? That being the case it isn not feasible to become infected from a blowjob genitally owing to your immune system.

Hey @WilsoInAus thanks for the fast reply. I havent had a cold sore in years. This just happened saturday and after 5 days now of stressing and anxiety, high blood pressure when seeing the doctor something popped up on my lip. Some of the research I am doing is indicating a yest infection. I am extremly nervous since I am married and we are pushing for children. I made HUGE mistake while I was drunk. Any recommendations?

@Fred R oral cold sores are for life and often aren’t present for years on end. You still carry the virus already and the immune system is in full swing.

See you doctor and obtain the bacteria STD tests just in case, very rare to be infected from oral sex though.

I did have a couple of questions. Thanks for being here, you are helping me sleep. I did have a negative blood text just 3 days ago. 

Does having the sore appear on my lip in this time frame mean more to come on my penis? Also the burn and itching sensation that symptoms talk about, how severe are they?

[WilsoInAus]

Hey @Fred R herpes is a locational infection. If infected genitally then that is where you experience symptoms. Without lesions, there is every reason to believe causes other than herpes are at play.

Blood tests are not always useful when it comes to a HSV-1 diagnosis for a bag of reasons. However it might add colour to know exactly which test, IgG, IgM or PCR blood test you had.

General burning and itching are not symptoms of herpes on their own. Tingling, itching and burning is usually caused by stress manifesting as tension in your pelvis in these circumstances.

@WilsoInAus

Thank you. Did you take a look at the recent picture in the other thread? Does it look like HSV2?

 

[WilsoInAus]

@Fred R HSV-2 isn’t feasible from oral sex. There’s a low chance it’s even present orally in a stripper and even lower chance of it actually being infectious from the oral location.

Your pictures do not look like herpes, no.

I am getting check at the Ortho again in the morning for swab test. Do you know how long they usually take to come back with results? I understand I may have receiving the blood test too early (3 days after oral sex). Im so scared emotionally I think I ruined my life and plans to have children. I threw the results away before I got home. You responses are helping calm me, although I appreciate honesty at same time.
