my g/f had a small cold sore on the corner of her lip at the bottom....it didnt look to bad and it had only been there for a few days....she preformed oral sex on me and i am very afraid that she might have gave me herpes! i have never been so worried in my entire life! this would ruin me! how much of a chance do i have of getting it from her if the cold sore had only been there for a few days?

only time can tell

I am in the exact same situation as you, the difference is that I'm the girl. It happened 18 days ago and not really anything has shown up on either one of us yet. I went to the doctor and they told me not to worry and say that this kind of things act very fast, usually with in 1 week or 2 there would be symptoms, and the symptoms would really be painful for the first time, so you can't miss it. I would try not to think about it for now and wait to see if anything happens then do a blood test about 1 month after, but then again, I'm not a doctor, I guess the best way is to consult a doctor.

best of luck to you

Well.. coldsores are herpes, so that was a risky behavior...

i have never been so worried in my entire life! this would ruin me! how much of a chance do i have of getting it from her if the cold sore had only been there for a few days?

Well, just cause she had a cold sore does not mean for sure that you got it.

Its not enough just to get it on your skin, it has to get 'past' your skin into your body.

Remember, your skin is part of your immune system.

If you haven't had any visible signs or symptoms yet, you probably got lucky and didn't get it.

I went to the doctor and they told me not to worry and say that this kind of things act very fast, usually with in 1 week or 2 there would be symptoms, and the symptoms would really be painful for the first time, so you can't miss it.

Yes, I agree with this...

YEAH, everyone is going to point out the scientific evidence to suggest that it can be dormant for years blah blah blah... BUT most of the time, if you are infected, you get an outbreak within 2 days to 14 days.

So if you guys haven't noticed anything you are probably ok.

this would ruin me

Lastly... If getting an STD would 'ruin' you, then you should REALLY think twice about keeping your pants on.

I mean it seems like in this case, you dodged a bullet... But there is NO such thing as safe sex... So until you are in a situation where you are with a person you want to be with for as long as you can think of... or something like that... you should take this opportunity/scare to re-evaluate if you want to be having sex or not. (I'm not saying you should or shouldn't) but even if you are with another girl, and she doesn't have a cold sore or anything... YOU ARE STILL AT RISK.

Cold sores are very contagious. It is possible that you can get Herpes type one virus( almost but not the same as type two). Anyway if you do get it from type one the synptoms would appear but won't be as bad as type two.

      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).

      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.

      She tested positive for HSV2. No, there was nothing of that sort in that area.   However I also have ulcerative colitis so I’m on medication that makes me immunosuppressed. I have been bleeding a bit when I pass stools during the time of redness, so I’m unsure if I’m getting a flare from the colitis (from all the stress of everything) or if it’s due to the virus making it’s way to an already inflamed area and popping up as blisters that I can’t see and hence the bleeding.    I had two equivocal results (at 4 weeks and 6 weeks) that then went to a positive result (7 weeks after exposure). Combine that with some flu symptoms, redness, tingling etc. makes me feel it’s conclusive that this points to a hsv2 infection.
