Possible herpes exposure

Dear all,
Thank you for your time and patience. About 2 weeks back
I visited an Asian massage parlour. There was body to body
Massage, a protected fellatio and she finished me with a handjob.
During the process I noticed that there was a pink bump on her
Shoulder and above her left breast. She was using her body
To grind over mine. Now I realised that she may have herpes due to the pink bump on her torso. Now I have a crawling feeling all over my body,
Legs, arms thighs feet hands face and scalp. Sometime there would be prickly feeling on the feet and hands and armpits. There is pain when I urine and my right testicles is sore like a Vien pulling inside. I am terrified now
To realize that I may have contracted herpes. Could you give me an assessment to see if I have any risk for getting this virus. I am having major depression now.

odds are that none of this is std related at all. continuing to follow up on your symptoms with your provider is the best you can do at this point. You will not have these sorts of symptoms without obvious herpes lesions.

Hi grace/mistakeguy,

Wanted to update you on my status. Of late the quivering I have got has become worse and it's especially pronounced at night and it's affecting my sleep. These ate te symptoms i have been experience and I went to the doctor for a work up and he suspects it could be herpes virus. I just wanted to share these with you.

1) experiencing a mild grade fever at night with chills / shivering even though room is warm
2) burning sensation in hands and feet accompanied by numbness
3) uncontrollable muscle spasm in thighs, arms and back
4) short spells of dizziness in the day
5) slight irritation on the tip of penis when urinating
6) tingling sensation in the whole back when lying down sleeping
7) short pin pricking sensation throughout body

It's been 21 days post exposure to the incident
an have already completed my antibiotics
medication but the above symptoms still persist. Have been to the doctor for the past 3 times and the only thing he can deduce is the herpes virus.

I already have passed the stage if anxiety and these seems to be real problems. You were saying that this could not be herpes so I left it at that but the symptoms I have is something I have never experienced in my life prior to this exposure. I know you guys are nit doctors but are well versed / knowledgable in this field having seen so many cases. Could you advise what is going on with me? I cannot sleep and my work and relationship is affected by this. Pls help

Although I am not grace but none of this follows with herpes symptoms.  You can just have muscle spasms for no reason.  Your provider needs to do a proper work up at this point.  It is doubtful this is heres.

Dear grace I appreciate your encouragement. The doctor called me today and I am negative for all test HIV, hsv igg and hep A and B. He told me that HIV and hsv results are still too early. I told him my symptoms of uncontrollable quivering in my pelvis region and Mild fever. And he agreed that it is consistent with herpes. Grace I do not see any outbreaks on my body but this quivering in my tailbone area is driving me crazy and I can't sleep. There is something going on there grace . Pls help. Does herpes cause your pelvic area to go into uncontrollable spasms ? I really having a panic attack now and I cant believe one trip to a massage parlour will turn my life upside down. Grace with all your experience  in seeing herpes cases could you tell me what is going on in my body. Pls help me...

no reason to think std's as a cause of your symptoms from this incident.



no, herpes won't cause numbness on the right hand and up to your face. see your provider for a proper work up for these symptoms.

Dear grace sorry for being a pain. But I am desperate and emotional now. Crying my heart out. My condition has took for the worse. I experienced numbness in my pelvic area and it is constantly quivering. This numbness spread through my body and now my whole right hand had lost it's feeling like there is no blood flowing through and the numbness shoots up to the right  to my face. I refuse to think it's anxiety but this happen after my massage incident seemed to coincidental. I read that herpes has caused this and am depressed and suicidal.

Thanks grace. I went to the doctor today for the pain in my testicle after the massage incident and he told me it was epyditimis orchitis, but was tested negative for clamydia and gornoreah. Do you on any way based from your vast experience could be related to herpes. My igg test won't be out till wednesay and I wanted to understand that it could just be a normal infection and not herpes. Am feeling some slight fever with some muscle ache on my body for the past week after this incident. Pls let me know your thoughts.

1 and 2 are not risks for genital herpes.

3 is a very slight risk and really not worth much worry at all from.

Hi grace will be getting a blood test result for igg testing. I stil keep thinking about it from the 3 scenarios I encountered what are the possibilities for herpes infection?

1) protected fellatio
2) handjob
3) body to body rubbing

As I was reading the post and they say that herpes could be spread through skin to skin friction and heat.

(assuming she has herpes and was shedding) The handjob and body to body rubbing do produce friction and heat and is there a possibility the virus could enter my body that way? I really appreciate your kind answer and seek your knowledge in this.

no std causes the skin crawling/electric shocks you are feeling. usually that's just anxiety .

Thanks you so much grace. But assuming she does have herpes and viral shedding and this skin to skin grinding where there may also be vaginal fluids involved. Will I still be susceptible to the herpes virus? All these feeling I have of skin crawling / electric shocks on my body have anything to do with this episode? Thank you a much for your patience and kind understanding.

not likely the bumps you saw on her were herpes.

protected oral sex is about as safe as you can get as well are hand jobs.

no reason for any std testing at all from your encounter and no reason to worry that you might've contracted herpes either.

I also understand that you can contract this thru skin to skin rubbing. Assuming she really does have herpes will I be in danger? I am really freaking scared right now that I couldn't sleep. I am experiencing electric shock feeling all over my body, with numbness in the face etc pls help me I appreciate it
