Afraid of Herpes

[keiths92]

Hi guys,
Im having muscle aches over my body and weakness in legs. FYI its day 12 post exposure today. so would it be herpes primary outbreak symptoms (would'nt it abit late?), HIV seroconversion (its close to week 2 which indicates ARS that freaked me out), any possible std or viral infection ? sorry for asking so much because the muscle ache syndrome terrified me alot. Millions of appreciation

Just  test in 8 weeks. You know its good to know you herpes status even if you were not affected by the affair. Many people have hsv1 oral from childhood and can be passed with oral sex so if your sexually active, test for the protecttion of future partners.

Till present (12 days post exposure), i had no fever, no swollen glands, no sores on genitals and mouth, only aches around body. This situation made me felt miserable, as according to the HIV forum, unprotected insertive oral sex is not at risk at all, which made the assumptions of causes might be herpes (since she had positive result for both hsv1 and 2) or any possible std that might cause body ache as well? millions of appreciation.

With complaints of body aches they also complain of a fever so body aches themselve would not be indicative of herpes

thanks for the advice, btw is whole body ache a common indicator of herpes primary infection? millions of appreciation

If she had no lip sore at the time your risk would be quite low from a one time exposure. Sores dont always show up. Test at 8 weeks as a good indicator and 12 conslucive

according to the medical sources, there should be lesions appearing within 2-16 days if i am primarily infected with herpes. body aches do resemble symptoms of primary infection?

i just received unprotected oral sex from a girl for couple minutes. she had no sores or bleeding gums as well. the girl had positive for hsv 1 and 2.

ops sorry, actually i was just too worried regarding my health status now which had aches over body, no swollen glands, no fever, no visible sores on mouth and genital. is it possible to be herpes primary symptom ?

Hi what type of exposure did you have and if this is an HIV question please post in the HIV forum.
