HERPES or something else ... WhAt?? This is driving me CRAZY!!!!

by ChevyBoy84, May 29, 2007 12:00AM
2 weeks ago I hooked up with this girl. We made-out, and performed oral sex on me. The next day I was told that she was having a genital herpes outbreak. So I got her # and we talked about it and she said confirmed all that and told me her story. She says she does not have oral herpes but I just don't know what to think or to fully believe/trust her.

Here are some pics of what is going on:

Tongue: Red dots and yellowish color.

Pubic Hair: Appears to have some rash coming in.

Nice pictures of a normal tongue, normal lips, normal suprapubic hairs, and a normal penis.  You can't get herpes from oral sex from someone with genital herpes.  Please relax and out your camera to better use.  If you need further reassurance, you'll need to see a doctor in person.

Take care.

Also ... Would it be safe to have sex or kiss my new girlfriend?

And ... How long do I need to wait before I should get a blood test done for herpes?
