STD from oral

I recently had unprotected oral from a new woman (stupid i know).  I'm now concerned with the possibility of getting an STD from this.  My research indicates that herpes, chlamydia, gonorhrea and NGU are the most common for men to get from oral.  It also seems that chlamydia and gonnorrea are very rare to get this way.  Any opinion would be helpful.  Also, how long do i have to wait to get tested for chlamydia, gonn & NGU?  I've read 7 days - is that long enough?  Thank you.

Uh,.but from all the research I've been doing, you could have still transmitted it to her, outbreak or not!

Don't you think that instead of you freaking out so much about something you got from *her* when, let's face it..the risk of a guy getting something from a girl gi ving HIM oral sex is ridiculously low...maybe you ought to tell her to get herself tested for HSV?? I'm just saying!!!

I find it ironic you're going a little nuts here worrying about your OWN risk, but I don't see much evidence you give 2 cents about what you may have exposed her to.

Correct me if I'm wrong!!

As a woman who may have gotten HSV2 from just such an atittude,I find this pretty poor behavior...

Yes, and that I'm on daily suppressive therapy and have only had 2 outbreaks in 2 years (now 3).

Wait a minute...you knew you had HSV2, but had unprotected oral sex with a female who went down on you???

Did you tell her that you're infected???

Hi Grace:  OK, one last fit of paranoia.  I have always assumed I have genital HSV2 because I gave it to my GF and she had very frequent outbreaks (every 6-8 weeks).  So based on that I assumed it was HSV2.  Now I'm afraid that i could have HSV1 genital and could have gotten HSV2 from the unprotected oral.  I know common knowledge says that is extremely rare (first for a woman to get HSV2 oral and then to transmit it during fellatio) but I've been reading a lot of stories about this happening to "a lot" of people (I know, stay off the internet).  

Based on my GF's outbreak frequency would you say I most likley have HSV2 already?  Second, are the odds of getting HSV2 from fellatio really that rare?  If 3% of oral herpes is HSV2 and it sheds 1% of the time, that would make it a .03% risk which seems small.  But if you multiply that by the number of people with oral herpes then you get a pretty big number.

As alway, let me know what the "truth" is on this.  Thanks (again)!

Once again, THANK YOU.  Does the fact that my recent outbreak went from crop to (small) open sores to scabbed & healing in 3+ days give more credibility that it's a recurrent vs. primary outbreak?

Also, on the hypothetical that I have HSV1 genital, getting HSV2 genital from oral on top of that would be extremely rare too, correct?

Finally, w/o any symptoms of gonorrhea or chlaymdia 9 days post-encounter can I stop worrying about those too?

I promise never, ever to put myself in this position again. Thank you and God bless you Grace.
