Please help!

I have been reading this forum and first want to thank everyone that contributes to educate people like me.

My questions is regarding an exposure I had December 12th with a sex worker. She performed protected oral sex for maybe 49seconda and then we proceeded to have protected vaginal sex.

The sex ( sorry for being graphic ) was doggy style and I'm scare that my scrotum touching her vaginal might had exposed me to herpes. She had red spots on the lower part of the front of her lower thighs, maybe 2 or 3, none visible in her caginal or buttocks. What are the chances I contracted heroes from this exposure.

At 3 weeks I went and got a blood test

Hsv 1 0.57
Hsv 2 0.10

I had a sore throat at week 4 that lasted 2 weeks and constant diarrhea. Thank you for the answer in advance.

I would suggest it is more likely you have had oral HSV1 since your youth. Your chances of contracting HSV1 from the encounter are incredibly slim. You have not had herpes related genital symptoms.

Have you or your parents ever had oral cold sores?

I know and is the only thing keeping me sane right now. What is your opinion regarding the jump it made from 0.57 to 1.81 in little or 4 weeks, is this definite because of this jump. And also, I would like to know the precautions I should take not to infect anyone. Please anyone can shime in I need to get educated. Thank you.

Just got the bad news that I infact contracted hav 1. The score 1.81 makes it impossible for me not to have it. I'm devastated. What do I do now? Can I even have sex with my wife? Can I touch and kiss my daughter? I feel like my life is over and want it to end.

Genital herpes sheds anywhere in the boxer short area so pretty much anywhere below the waist not on the hands.

Hey I have a question for education purpose. We know that herpes sheds even if there are no visible lesions, but from where? The point of infection or all over the body. Like if I touch my wife with my face, is that outing her at risk or does it have to be with the point of infection? Sorry don't want to put my love ones at risk. Thank you.

Yes quilt can be very upsetting but you did use protection so any topical symptoms on your penis would not be std related.

Life360 thank you for answering me, if it wasn't for you I don't know what I do. I can't stop thinking about this day and night. All I do is read about my symptoms and I really scared I passed this on to my children. Anxiety is really doing something to me.

Since you used a condom, any issues in your penis head would not be related to the sex act.

Ok now I'm really scared. Thursday morning I masturbated and around 11pm I went to pee and saw about 7 red bumps on my penis head. They were red and did not hurt, also there seemed to be a blister right under the penis head. The blister and red bumps disappeared by Friday and all I have left is red spots in my penis which don't hurt. I'm really scared. Please tell if this could be from the friction in masturbating.

To contract syphilis she would need an active canker sore and you would need a open sore for the virus to enter. Needs direct contact. I only mention this for her protection. If you said you were not married i would not have suggest it at all.

If my thigh would have touched her thigh I could have gotten syphilis?

The numbers arent real familar to be. The most common test says anything below 1.2 is negative not really sure about your number at .57 it sould be .5 so you might want to verify the range numbers of your test but below zero would be negative either way.
If your not sure of body contact and your concerned about your wife have a test for syphilis as well a the 6 week mark.
