Could it be herpes???
I have a question about 6 days ago we went to a strip club with my friends...we got some dancers to dance for us. ..we were drinking very heavily and I do not recall the nights events...but have some flashes of a girl dancing and unzipping my shorts....but do not recall the rest....I have Gone for std testing...vitamin am feeling a very light tingle on my lip and my groin...I have been a nervous wreck since this event as I have never cheated on my wife of 15 years....the Internet is horrible to look up symptoms but I have no visible bumps....I've had the tingling for 3 or four days...Ives this a symptom of herpes..how long before incandescent get a good test for herpes ..and when do the first symptoms usually occurs ...any help would be really appreciated

Yes after 10-14 days you can start to feel more confident. The hiv tests are not definite at 9-11,days usually about 28 days. Hiv is not overly concerning as it's a real long shot she would have it and an ever longer shot you would contract it. It's harder to contract than most people realize.

ahhh 14 days that's 8 more from now that sucks.....its been hard enough to get here ...wow this sucks I wil never put my self in this position again
I'm sorry I don't mean to sound so desperate but I am....I screwed up and now my whole life comes down to this .....that what makes this so hard.....I loose everything if this comes back wrong.....so every day is hard and scarry and full of stress....just trying to get help and information
I highly doubt you could have contracted hsv from this. It's not a super contagious infection. There is a reason these are called sexually transmitted. 3-10 days is the time frame that lesions would appear. I understand your stress but your risk is essentially zero. You can test at twelve weeks if you feel the need to.
Your symptoms are more than likely stress induced and certainly not hsv. Those symptoms do not happen for a primary outbreak.
Hope this helps a little

Hi there, while we know it is hard to wait until official testing can be done, our forum members feel it is a good sign that you do not have HSV as you have no symptoms. Hopefully that gives you comfort until you can test. In the meantime, as your question has been answered here, we are going to close this thread.

In very cases it can take up to 20 days. The vast majority happen within the first week. Past ten days you can start to feel confident that a primary outbreak is not coming. I would think you will test at 8 weeks then twelve weeks as you are very stressed over this.
I believe you are totally fine. Your risk was most assuredly very small and the odds are you would've had your outbreak by now if you did indeed have it.

You can breathe now. After ten days you are probably out of the woods
So if I make it to 8 days tomorrow is that a better sign I'm ok...when would u say u can breathe
Thank you feeling....your a great help...
Sore throat is not a symptom of genital herpes.
Thank you so much for your help as well...I hear what every one is saying but I am not my normal rational self...some times I calm down...but then I feel a scratch in my throat or it feels sore then I fall back in to it again and the not knowing what i did is killing me as well......not to mention I think the signs from stopping drinking are the same warning signs I've read for herpes...that dosent help...the sore throat ...headache...anxiety...it's terrible....
Hi also, since the issues is not knowing what happened why dont you ask your friends to shed some light on the nights activities? But i will say that in my experience with clubs, and believe me ive been to my share, the workers would always use a condom even with oral sex as most are very concerned about std,s and many i believe have their own families at home also.
Most experts would say club workers are most likely std freer than the non club workers.
So using condoms lest us to the risk for herpes and if the worker did have an active gential outbrake at the time, i dont believe she would have intercourse anyway as would be to painful so that leads us to shedding which doesnot occur terribly often.
Do test at the proper times for your partner protection but if you did not have any sore develop about a week later or any flu like symptoms that appear afther the sores, you can be pretty confident all is ok.
Herpes infections take a special condition to be transmitted to the correct nerve and pubic hair can act as a barrier adding to the less risk.
As Don suggests, just take it easy as the odds are way in your favor.

Thank you wow this week has sucked...so by no symptoms u mean out breaks right??? In my few min of normalcy per day I think...my stress probably has my immune system so compromised that if I did have it ...it would be all over me...then I feel warm and am sure u have it again....damn it sucks...8 days will be tonight around 2am
At 8 days with no real symptoms is a very good sign. Congrats on the drinking by the way!!
i mena 7 days 11 hours it was last thurs before 2 am that's when they closed
or all if I was that bad (and I never that bad) who knows where I would stop?? I would never put my self in that situion ever .so I cant say I probably didn't ..so its horrible...but 8 days and 11 hours ....no signs....the other problem (if u call it that) is this made me not want to drink alcohol again and I stopped drinking ,,I usually had 2-4 drinks a day for a few years so I think symptoms have been from stopping drinking
You might not have done much
And her unzipping my pants
Not alot....a few flashes of things but nothing solid...that in could say yes I did or no indidnt....I think I remember her asking if I had a condom
It took me awhile. I think my 8 week test calmed me down a bit. I know it's hard but hang in there it does get easier. Can you remember any of the specifics from your exposure?
Ty I have I can't wait till I get good sleep again...it's exhusting...how long did it take you to feel half way normal again...thanknyou for all your help
Stop reading about the symptoms. It gets better over time.
Guys there is one more thing I want to add. Stress is murder on the body. You both are under an extreme amount of it. Your body is always tense. This leads to back and leg pains and strange sensations.this is normal and will pass you start to get relief. It's not a sign of herpes. Again speaking from experience on this for sure.

Maze4200, reading your posts my heart breaks for you... I find myself in the same exact position on the same timeline. Last Tuesday I was in a LV StripClub and a lap dance lead to a quick handjob and I woke up the next morning with similar sensations/discomfort. Since then I've been scouring the web (last thing I should do) looking for reasons I don't have Herpes. I have found comfort from good people like FeelingUndone but the seconds feel like hours and I keep waiting for the Initial Outbreak, luckily it hasn't come yet.
I too have two children and a wife that I adore, I'm terrified thinking about what I've done to them. I want you to know that you are not alone and I'm right there with you. I will pray for you and wish you the best, I hope things work out for the both of us.
Fee free to PM me if you ever need to talk more.

You will. Thank you for the kind words
