Help please

About a week ago I touched my boyfriends penis. A few hours later I noticed a red bump on my lip. I don't think that I touched my lip before I touched his penis. But even if I did, what are the risks of him contracting herpes 1 on his genitals? How long would it take for the sypmtoms to appear?

It's not like herpes is black paint and where ever you touch turns black... Herpes has an enemy and it is called AIR!!! Air kills it. For it to go on yoru finger and move through the air to this guys penis will kill the virus. What part of NO he can't get it that way don't you understand???  You're annoying the $hit out of me, haha. Just kidding but no, you're worrying about nothing. Your boyfriend's penis is fine.

You can say that again. No. He can't get it. Maybe it's time for you to read up on how herpes is transmitted. It's called a sexually transmitted disease for a reason.

I know I am annoying, but even if i touched my mouthwhen the cold sore was not present but in the predromal stage, and then touched his penis--- could he get it because i touched my mouth?

No that is not what I meant. I touched my boyfriend's penis and then I felt a cold sore a few hours later. Is there any way he could get herpes 1 on his penis?

Now this is a funny posting. I don't want to say there is no such thing as a bad question but contracting herpes after touching a penis and getting symptoms in a few hours?? Well, let's see. The risk of contracting herpes from this episode is about 0 to the one trillionth power times 145 trillion. In other words you are clean!!! :)
