Cut on lip - Possibly HSV-2 oral?

[pcmpcm33]

Thank you in advance for your help.

I performed oral sex (unprotected) approximately 22 days ago. 5 days ago while eating a sandwich, after a bite, I noticed a small cut about 1/8-1/4 inch horizontally on my bottom lip. The roll was quite hard and could easily be blamed since it was while I was using my napkin that I noticed the cut, because of the blood on the napkin. Today, 5 days since, that cut has healed fully, in fact was healed in two days or so, I was eating a bagel with a hard shell on the outside and noticed a similar cut just below and to the right of the previous one. Same scenario, wiped after a bite and noticed a bit of blood.

Normally a lip cut would cause me no concern but admittedly my anxiety is running afoul. Could this be either HSV-1 or HSV-2? I have no pimples, blisters or anything resembling a typical OB.

As Grace pointed out, protection really is essential unless you and your partner have been tested for everything and documentation is provided by both parties. Oral HSV-2 is extremely rare, and is only the cause of 2% of oral infections while HSV-1 is the source for the remaining 98%. It's incredibly unlikely you got oral HSV-2 from a one time exposure, but please let this be a lesson to you in the future.

Your feedback is greatly appreciated. This will act as an anxiety-ridden lesson well learned.

these don't sound like herpes symptoms.

we always recommend protected sexual contact. it protects you and saves you from worrying like this.
