High risk of herpes
I had sex with a sex worker about 2 months ago and havetn felt much symtoms until about a week ago. We had sex and she gave me oral but I am not tooo sure if the condom was on or not because I was drunk and when I realized that thecondom was busted I pulled out of her vagina and washed myself andf left. My testicles are starting to feel burningg like and the left one has some difcomfort even when I am laying down. My legs has a random tingling feeling here and there and my back hurts sometimes. I have not spotted any difference in the phyical appearance of my penis or testicles but just abnormal feelings to my body. Do I have herpes??
once again, your anxiety is the issue, not your risk. talk to a professional face to face. call and make an appointment first thing in the morning!
I have been talking to alot of poeple about my sitution like my hiv testing doctor, friends i found online with similar situtions and it helps but at the end of the night I am the one that has to live with this and the possibilty of my life being ruined. I am so afrid GRACE, I hope it is that easy to get over it but its not.
you really need to talk to a counselor at this point about your anxiety. your school has resources available to you, take advantage of them and get back on track!!
Having sex with a sex worker is not going to ruin the rest of your life! your guilt over what occurred is far out weighing the actual risk of the encounter.

I am convined that it is something because I have my doubts and I am usually a strong mental person but for this. I am adding up all the pieces and it is not in my favor. I hope I will make it through this, because I want to have a normal life and have kids and all that good stuff but I am feeling so horrible about myself and starting to give up on life.
That helped alot knowing that it is there profession and their job is to be heaalthy but what if she was infected and doesnt care about herself or for anyone anymore?? You guys are right my mind is wrestling with me right now and i cant do anything to ignore it

Like grace said they are more likely to be tested because of the whole them needing to be STD free and being safe and tested helps that. It doesn't really matter a single encounter
The fact you are regretting things is almost in line with having your mind play tricks on you. You are your own worst enemy.

I heard about the whole no symtom thing and it has me going crazy because I dont know who this lady is and she was 40 years old. I hate talking about this situation becuase I just want to slap myself when i do. She can also be a potencial drug abuser and I dont remeber if she has blisters or not becuase I was so out of it.
That night has hunt me that last 2 months and I cant sleep or be normal with family or friends. They are beginning to be concerned because I look all stressed out and not enteracting with them anymore lately.
I hope I dont get herpes but there is nothing I can do. I made a mistake of a lifetime and have been praying and change alot of things that use because I want to be a better person after this.
I am also starting to sleep alot more becasue I feel tired and it feels like the option I have to get away from this

odds are you would've had symptoms before this if you had contracted a std.
sex workers are more likely to get tested regularly for std's as well as more likely to be participating in safe sex practices. their livelihood depends on them being safe.

its just too hard for me to believe that I can make it out of my situtaion without something. I have seem to lost f my faith in myself. I KNOW the way I am feeling is not normal but I am trying my best to stay active and ignore it but the feelings dont go away.
I am usaully a positive person and believe in positive thinking will have better utcomes but I have been stuck thinking of the same things everyday. I get my results back this thursday for all the stds except herpes. Wish me luckkk.

your symptoms do not sound like herpes.
do yourself a favor and turn off the computer except for when you are working on home work!! All the reading you are doing is just fueling your anxiety needlessly!! use the time you are using to obsess about std's now to go take walks to keep your mind off of things, keep you healthy and have you ready to tackle all of the end of semester work you probably have to get done :)
did you know you can actually cause yourself to have back pain, leg pain and testicular pain just from bad posture and spending too much time sitting in front of a computer? something worth thinking about.

Thankk you gracee,
I feel so guilty for what I did and time is my enemy right noww. I have been on the ingternet alot lately and all my symtoms point to herpes and the high risk that was involved. I feel like my life is comming to an end and it was all my fault.
Can gornoorhea and chlamdia be the reason to my testicle pain? i have not have any white discharged from my penise??

whether or not you ejaculate has nothing to do with std risk.
just because you have things going on down yonder, doesn't mean that they are std related.
have you considered talking to a counselor at school since this is affecting your school work too? You need to be ready for finals in a few weeks so finding better ways to cope with this stress is in your best interest.
odds are you don't have a std going on. you were seen and they didn't see evidence of anything. I'd cover your bases with testing for chlamydia and gonorrhea if you haven't already just to err on the side of caution. Those are the 2 most common std's you are at risk for.

Thanksss Mistakeguyy
I am scared I am going to be this way for the rest of my life. I am 20 years old and a student and made the biggest mistake of my life. I cant stop thinking about what i did and feel like I am sich an embarrest to my family. =(.
The way I am feeling I cant ignore it and pretty sure its not in my head. These feelings give me alot of discomfort and tingly feelings throughout my body. I cant focus on anything but this right now and my school work is suffering becasue of it. My testicles are not red and dont hurt when i touch them but my thighs smetimes sting as well. COuld this be another STD besides herpes?

Could be a fungal infection or just plain anxiety. Continue to work with your providers on these issues.
Thank you grace =)
I have gone to a few clinics and they told me not to worry becuase the herpes have not yet revealed itself but I know something is going on with my body and its not normal i hope it goes away! I did not reach climax with this lady and don't know how ong exactly I was having sex with her until I realzied the condom has broke. I am also concerned about hiv but tested negative at 9 weeeks.
But she gave me oral and I dont know how long the sex was exactly before the condom broke. Is there any other reasons why my testicles wouldd feel this way??

this doesn't sound like herpes going on. go and be seen and get a proper work up done.
the risk of herpes from a one time mostly protected encounter is very low in general.
