exposure and symptoms
I received oral sex from CSW.
Day 3 - Pulsing throbbing sensation in the lower right abdomen.
Day 8 - throbbing dull ache in the right testicles with tingling sensation in the penis head. (continued for a week).
week 4 - mild thorbbing dull ache in the right testicles with rare tingling sensation in the penis head.
"I never had sores, lesions in the penis."
week -6 I had a red colored pin head sized bump on right arm and on the stomach with no pain.
week - 7 - I got 2 new blisters in lower lip (I never had this recently for the past 3 years, I have had the same kind of blisters during boyhood days)
week 9 - pin head sized red colored bump started healing and also the blisters in the lips also started healing.
when i posted this symptomps in the forum, i got a reply that these are not symptomps of herpes and i thought it may be coincidence.
when i kept reading the old archive in the forum, i got this thread.
now my school of thoughts are, my symptopms are coincidnece. because already sacreadandtired also got the same symptomps after an exposure to unprotected oral sex.
is this some thing asymptomatic herpes. I just received an oral sex for a minute. i'm not going with symptomps in the internet. i want to get it clarified with you .
I'm upset that i cannot lead a married life.
the person who started thread also not posted any thing after his last message.
please grace, can you please help me with this.
I have decided to do type Specific IGg test after three months.
can some one pleasel advice on symptoms after the exposure.
Also first time i came across a thread and i could see one more person having symptoms as me.
grace, it would be of great help. if you evaluate my symptomps.

grace, a lot of tension is relieved from my head.
i never tested for the herpes. i will be doing after 1 month from now.
but i'm sure that i have hsv 1 orally. i remember the sores i have had when i was boy and my parents use to tell me that those are heat boils, you have to apply oil and intake curd to get rid of the heat in the body.
grace, what you say makes sense to me.
and also i was in a relationship with a girl three years ago, in our first meet i french kissed her for a long time and after a week she showed me her lips with a blister and said that i bitten her lips . i thought i might have bitten her strong so she got the blister. but i now understoood that i have given her hsv 1 orally. we both were really not aware of that.
and also after a months ago, she has given me lot of blow jobs, but i never had these symptoms what i have now. but i'm damn sure that she is monogomous. as she is very close to me and stays near to me. so she got hsv1 from me.
i stay in india and if i do a typeSpecific igG blood test. will that help me to figure out correctly.
btw, ever have you heard about these symptoms ?
Thanks a lot, grace.

they do sound like oral herpes aka fever blisters, cold sores that you had as a child. Pretty common to get them when you are out in the sun too much and as kids, many of us spend a good deal of the time outside playing.
good luck with the herpes igg blood testing in India. Not much of it I can help you with since many of the tests used there are not tests we use here in the US so it's hard for me to comment on them in general.

there are some high-tech laboratories available here these days. can you please let me know, what test i should take to get the accurate results.
As i crossed almost two and half months with managing the anxiety. i can wait for another month and wait for the test to be done.
my last humble request to you, can you please have a look at this thread. because i have the same exact symptoms as that person reported after the exposure of unprotected oral sex. And he is also from india. I worry that are there any undocumented symptoms of HSV and that is very asymptomatic without any sores or lesions in the genitals.
after your response to this question, i will post only with the results.

if you can get the captia or herpeselect tests done, those are reliable.
already said that someone else's post is meaningless to me - it's only what you tell me about your own situation that matters!!

hi grace,
Just an update about my symptoms.
]In my first post, i have mentioned the following symptoms,.
"week -6 I had a red colored pin head sized bump on right arm and on the stomach with no pain. "
three days ago i met my provider, because i got puss filled tiny red colored tiny bump in my left thigh.
when he examined, he said it is folliculitis. i showed my arm and stomach and he confirmed that all are folliculitis.
he gave me antibiotics for three days and crixan gel to apply on the bumps.
it started vanishing slowly.
i understood how i got this. a month ago, my parents left the home for a vacation and i forgot the food they had left for me.after three weeks it had formed fungus on the food vessels. so i cleaned it with bare hand. that might be the cause of the follicular infection.
i correlated this as symptoms of herpes. it was coincidence.
now i ruled out one symptoms and confirmed. i also googled and read about it. it is folliculitis.
i really cant get the reason for throbbing abdomen, testicles and buttock ache (at times). i never got these symptoms in my life time, before the insertive oral sex. that too, i got these symptoms exactly three days after the oral sex.
another 20 days for my hsv test.
i will keep you updated.
please let me know, if you have any suggestions.
thanks :)

The best thing is to keep working with your provider on your symptoms as you get them.
mold on food won't give you a bacterial skin infection dear.
folliculitis happens. we are exposed to bacterial 24/7/365 and sometimes it causes us illness. Usually there is no real cause for how you got it - it usually is just the "normal" bacteria on our skin that sometimes gets in where it doesn't belong and/or overgrows to cause us symptoms.
continue to follow up when you have symptoms. nothing you've mentioned sounds like herpes causing your symptoms. also keep active - just sitting around in front of the computer more than usual can cause nerves to become irritated and cause you pain :)

Thanks grace and mistakeguy for your knowledge and support.
an one time senseless mistake caused all these troubles and pains.
at times at repent for the mistake i have done. because i was just about to get married. now i have postponed everything because of this issue.
grace, i will be back with my captia blood test report on september 15.
i pray god with fingers crossed. :(
thanks again.

hi grace,
just a clarification about the type of test to be done.
yesterday i went to my provider to show a tiny pus pilled bump in my inner thigh,
he examined that and said that it is follicular infection.
i asked him to write for herpes blood test.
he prescribed hsv 1 and 2 igG/igM - As i know that igM results are not reliable. i told him.
he said that he can find it from igG results.
if they do the above mentioned test.
shall i consider the test as herpes type-specific igG as it has igG written by the doctor.
when i went to the lab, i asked them to do igG alone NOT igM. the pathologist agreed.
i also told her about the captia test for herpes.she said she is not aware of that.
what they do is herpes antibodies test for type 1 and 2.
today evening i will be getting the results. i keep you posted.
can you please let me know, will these test results help me to find out my status.
thanks :) for making me to deal the situation with a calm attitude.

sorry if above my post is not clear.
basically,
is HerpeSelect typespecific = HSV type 1 and 2 antibodies igG/IgM.
if igM has false results, shall we ignore igM from the results and only consider igG..
i have requested the lab technician to perform only hsv type 1 and 2 antibodies igG. because they are unaware of the name captica and herpeselect.
thanks.

yes the herpeselect is a type specific igg blood test.
you really could've saved momey and just got hsv2 igg testing since you already know you have hsv1 orally.
you really could've saved momey and just got hsv2 igg testing since you already know you have hsv1 orally.
yes, i could have saved money by choosing hsv2 alone. i thought of looking at the values of the both. just for the sake of knowledge. :) like you.
i saved money and confusing by avoiding igM. i really wonder how come most of the lab technician is not aware of the name of the test.
if i say them herpeselect or captia they dont know what it is.
if i tell them herpes 1 and 2 antibodies igM/igG. they say ahh,,.
Its good that i met the herpes geek here.
i would get the results on monday, i keep you updated.
btw, grace, if a person do herpes 1 and 2 igG/igM. can we do a accurate diagnosis just by looking at the igG values and ignoring igM values.

hi grace,
i could see your comments that you cant comment about the test results of hsv type 1 and 2 antibodies igG done outside of USA.
http://www.medhelp.org/posts/Herpes/Herpes-result-make-me-confuse/show/1519095
may i know the reason. i do understand that igM will not help us in anyways.
but hsv 1 and 2 antibodies igG should be the same across the world right.
they gonna look for the antibodies for these hsv viruses and give the amount of the antibodies in values.
if that is the case, please correct me if i'm wrong. it should be the same across the world.
1) Herpes Simplex Type 1 IGG (gG) = 2894 units/ml
2) Herpes Simplex Type 2 IGG (gG) = 108 units/ml
i guess here the values given per ml (milliliter of blood). if we convert these values in the liter. the values would be like this.
1) Herpes Simplex Type 1 IGG (gG) = 2.9
2) Herpes Simplex Type 2 IGG (gG) = 0.12
i have seen the values given in decimals in some threads. if a person a values like above from test done in USA. what would be your comments.
this is just to gain knowledge, please correct if i'm wrong in my approach. by commenting about the other threads and their values.
thanks.

I'm glad that i have found quest diagnostics lab in India. :)
http://www.questdiagnostics.in/quest-locations.aspx
i will be contact them and enquire about the service.

I can't contact on tests outside of the US except for just general comments because I don't know which tests they are using. every test is different as well labs outside of the US often report differently than they do here in the US. the world is a very big place so I just keep up to date on the tests offered here in the US. Even just limiting myself to tests offered in the US isn't very easy. I am a volunteer so limiting what I do is the way I've chosen to handle things. I'd feel awful if I gave someone outside of the US erroneous advice.
yes grace, you are cheerful. never seen anyone of our age group. so lively.
keep rocking.
would you call this test as herpes type 1 and 2 igG antibodies as HerpeSelect.

I have no idea what herpes testing quest labs offer outside of the US. be sure to ask if you go there for testing. It should be the herpeselect since they own it.
hi grace
i got my test results.
Herpes Simplex Virus 1 igG --- 0.38
Herpes Simplex Virus 2 igG --- 0.74
I'm confused, how i got tested negative for HSV 1.
did my antibodies level dropped for hsv1, :(
hsv1 antibodies will not let the hsv2 antibodies detect. :(
dont know what to do. :(
i recently got two sores in the lower lips and it got healed. i missed it. but that time, i had folliculitis going on my stomach, right arm and thigh.
would that be the cause for the sores.
i thought of ending this doubt, now it leads to confusion.

can you please let me know the difference between herpeselect and igG testing.
can you please let me know the difference between herpeselect and igG testing.
the herpeselect is an igg test .
even the best blood tests still miss 1out of every 10 hsv1 infections. you can be seen the next time you have a lip blister for a lesion culture and typing to confirm that indeed what you think is oral herpes, really is.

so grace, have i done herpeselect test ?
and am i negative for hsv2 ?
am i also going to ask the technicians what antigen test kit they used to perform the test.
i googled a bit about igG and herpeselect. please correct me, if i'm wrong.
herpeselect - is patented technology by focus technologies - they provide antigen test kit to perform the test.
HerpeSelect® HSV antibody test kits.

You are reading content posted in the Herpes Community
Herpes spreads by oral, vaginal and anal sex.
Herpes sores blister, then burst, scab and heal.
STIs are the most common cause of genital sores.
Millions of people are diagnosed with STDs in the U.S. each year.
STDs can't be transmitted by casual contact, like hugging or touching.
Syphilis is an STD that is transmitted by oral, genital and anal sex.
You've had a history of mouth sores in the past. Not sure from your description if it's hsv1 orally going on or not but if you had oral herpes as a boy, you still have it and you can still have recurrences of it even if it's been awhile. These are not new mouth symptoms for you so really no reason to worry about them.
Nothing you've mentioned sounds like genital herpes going on. Hsv1 is the biggest herpes risk from receiving oral sex and if you already have that orally, it's incredibly unlikely that you'd contract it genitally from oral sex later on.
have you ever been tested for herpes before to know your own status?
