Am I infectes with Herpes?

Hi Community,

Thanks all for the help you are doing for people like me here...

On 30th October 2015, I had condom protected Vaginal sex with CSW. No oral sex involved and at the end of the act, removed the condom carefully with a tissue paper and used other hand to masturbrate. Within 2minutes, I went to the bathroom and took shower.

After 2days, i got ulcer on the mouth lower lips and it's not painful. I was not worried but felt very tired, fatigue and sleepy on Day 10 and 11 and i was worried and thinking of HIV test. But yeaterday i found a small painless pump/sore on the penis skin. I was scared to hell and went to doctor this morning and he said it looks like Herpes but cannot confirm without a test.He has sent for all HIV, Herpes, Clamydia, etc tests. He had prescribed me Virless ointment also.

Do I have Herpes? Can it spresd even though condom was used and no oral sex except for the girl sucked my nipple...

Please help me :(

A test must be taken at 12 weeks plus after possible exposure to be conclusive.

However it is not recommended or needed in my view to test again for herpes, there is simply no reason to suspect an infection occurred.

Thanks a lot Fleetwood20 :)
I just collected my test results...EVERYTHING was Non-Reactive and NEGATIVE :D

But this is Blood sample taken at 15days after exposure. When i asked Doctor whether it is conclusive, he says it is conclusive and no need  to take any further tests.

But, i read in the forums, must wait 3weeks for Herpes test and 12weeks for Syphilis test...

I am confused. Should i take test again?

You needed a swab test of the lesion.

A blood test will only be conclusive 12 weeks after possible infection.

There is no way what you describe can be herpes lesions associated with an initial outbreak.

I am still waiting for the results. Hopefully tomorrow (5days). I have couple of questions.

1) Is HSV-1 or 2 detectable at 15days after exposure through Blood test?

2) If what i had is a Herpes sore, can it just get healed in 2days with Virless cream? (I just noticed like a white patch with centre wet very small, next day went to doctor and he himself cannot see clearly and prescribed me cream, i applied for 2days and it's gone. Now looks like normal skin)

But i had some viral infection like feeling for a week. Fatigue, muscle ache, tiredness, a tingling feeling on the lymph node especially on the left pelvic area slightly above groin...

Someone please enlighten me...

Thanks.

No, a lesion only arising under the protected area is not likely at all to be herpes. There is no reason here to be concerned about a herpes infection from this incident; it was low risk are there are not really aligned symptoms.
