I'm worried sick :/ genital herpes?
About 2 weeks ago I have an encounter with a female with a unknown status, she performed oral on me and I was protected, then we had intercourse protected. Its been 15 days and I have a cold sore on my lip, can this be a symptom of genital herpes or did all this stress cause my cold sore to appear? I wouldn't doubt that I have hsv 1 cause I get cold sores on my lips before ever since I was little.

Looking at the facts of your situation, HSV2 on your lip would be highly implausible seeing as you did not perform oral sex on her. But, when in doubt, to ease your mind, get to the doc.
Thanks for your reply Life ,
May I ask if I've never perform oral on the female is there any other way i couldve gotten oral hsv2? If I did somehow contracted hsv 2 genitally is it possible that I might have spread it to my bottom lip ? Its just making me feel uneasy that the cold sore on my lip appeared 15 days later. :/ ?

Having protected oral is no risk at all and the risk of contracting hsv from a protected vaginal one time affair where she did not have any genital sores at the time would be close to zero chance.
Respectfully, it would be unfair of me to guess. Just get to the doc, tell them your history, and get tested once they have heard you out and examined you.
What do you think my chances are that I have contract this from this one encounter ?
I understand and I will let you guys know how it goes, Thank you for taking your time to reply to my post!
What would one have to do to contract oral hsv2 ,since you say that it is rare?

Thanks Sidney and Life360 !
I am going go get it swap tomarrow at the doc.
What do you think is the cause for the cold sore on my lip?
That's the only symptom that I have but it appeared 15 days after the encounter

Thank you guys for answering my questions I highly appreciate it , I feel scared That i might have been infected ?
I don't know and it would be unfair of me to guess. Yes, you could get the HSV2 form of the virus if you had an open sore on your face or lip and engaged in oral sex with an HSV2 woman. If you do have an open sore / outbreak and you think something's wrong, go to a local clinic or doctor asap. and ask them to have it swabbed for HSV. The swab needs to occur when the sore is still wet.
I did went to get testing for stds and gon and etc , but waiting for the herpes test is making me feel so anxious because I have to wait 12 weeks. Do you think stress could've triggered the hsv 1 causing my lip to have the cold sore ? The intercourse and oral was all protected and I have long pubic hairs idk if that matters or not, what's the possibility that I might contract it?
Yes your correct but he did not have oral sex with her and thats the point. He was asking about his facial issue from the recent act. Dont get me wrong as we do apprectiate eveyone that participates here but just trying to keep the anxiety levels down by replying to the posted concerns.
FYI - HSV2 can be transmitted to the facial area if you have a sore, such as an open pimple or abrasion from shaving. Then, if you have oral sex with a woman who was infected, you could get the genital form of the virus in your facial area.
First of all realize that your genital exposure has nothing to do with any oral issues your having. Could the stress make you have a oral hsv1 outbreak? Possible. You might want to have a herpes test just to confirm your status but once again your genital affair has nothing to do with your oral issue. Herpes does not travel inside your body.
But it appeared in 15 days you don't think it can be a symptom of the hsv 2 ? You say its rare, how so?
A cold sore on the lip would be a symptom of hsv1 from childhood. HSV2 oral is rare.
Thank you all that replied to me, I have a question can a cold sore on the lip be a symptom of hsv 2 ? Or can this be from stress? I didn't perform any oral or anything Idk how I got on my lip?

Sidney, hes asking if he contacted oral hsv2 from genital sex! Thats not a symptoms that he did. He would need to give her oral sex to be at risk.
I always tell people instead of driving yourself crazy, if you have an open sore they can swab it and test it for both types of viruses.
