Do I have herpes?

[monkeytrouble]

I don't know what is wrong with me.  I had sex with a girl about 9 days ago.  I used a condom but I kissed her and had oral sex with her anus.  About a day later my mouth started to tigle and started to burn and feel funny.  Then my mouth really started to hurt and turn red especially the gums on the inside of my lips.  One day one part of my mouth would hurt and then another day another part would burn and hurt.  Parts of my mouth got very red and I did get a couple of ulcers in my mouth.  The roof of my mouth was red and my tongue had a white coat on it.  I also got very sick and weak and completely lost my apetite and was tired all of the time.  I had no swollen lymph nodes that I know of.  I went to the doctors and was told that it was just stress about having sex with a girl that I didn't know.  I argued that I thought it was herpes and they said it wasn't.  I did make them take a blood test from me to test me for all std's.  The tests came back negative for everything, but maybe I took the blood test too soon and the antibodies aren't showing.  Now, my scrotum (testicles) and sometimes my anus  burn.  I show no ulcers, bumps, or lesions in this area.  I want to believe that I'm seriously stressing out but I think I really might have something.  I'm just confused that my doctor said I'm just paranoid and the ulcers are nothing to worry about.  I'm really freaking out and my doc prescribed me zanex(not sure if this is how you spell it) to calm down.  Should I go to a dermatologist to get checked out again?  or what doctor should I go to?  maybe a specialist like a eyes nose and ear specialist.

A white coating on the tongue could be yeast, which you could pick up from giving someone oral sex.  Honestly, I don't know about yeast in the anus, but it's definitely present in many women's vaginas.  A yeast infection of the mouth would not really migrate to the genital area though.  Of course the anus does carry other bacteria.

However, a doctor who saw your mouth and didn't think anything of it is a good sign that you had nothing much going on to begin with.  I'm not sure how anyone here is going to be able to offer you too much more advice than a trained professional who saw you in person.

Thanks for the reply.  I have another appointment for a specialist (eyes, nose, ears, and throat) doctor.  I just fealt like the first doctor that I saw didn't know what she was talking about.  Doctors are just people and can make mistakes and don't always know everything.  I guess I'm just a little scared that I could have herpes.  My mouth is feeliing better but the ulcers are still there but they are starting to disapear.  My mouth does still feal wierd and tingles in certain spots from time to time.  I don't think I could have gotten yeast in my mouth from her anus (althought I'm not sure).  That still doesn't give me answers about why my mouth turned so red and hurt soooooo much.  My teeth even hurt a little.  I'll let you know what this doctor says tomorrow.

Ok this is a little crude but - think about what comes out of someone's ***?  It's not sterile by no means.  You easily could've picked up yeast or bacterial infections - both of which can cause the symptoms you've described. Seeing the ENT doc is a good idea - ask for cultures of your throat area too.  

I'm not saying give up something that gives you and your partner pleasure by no means - just saying yes sometimes you do end up with some not so pleasant infections that need treatment before resuming activity.  Sometimes you end up with strep throat from kissing someone , sometimes you end up with bacterial infections/fungal infections that need medical treatment. It's all in the name of fun right?

I know what comes out of someone's ***.  I was very drunk and obviously not thinking that night.  I went to a specialist today and he said my mouth looks fine and that I should go for another blood test in another 3-6 months.  He also said that what I thought was ulcers were actually saliva glands in my cheeks.  But my mouth did extremely hurt for a good week and did get red.  It still feels wierd sometimes and I'm still freaked out about it.  Do you think I should get some antibiotics or some other drug?  Your starting to worry me about the bacterial infections.  I don't want these infections to spread throughout my body.  But I do feel much better now.  If only I could go back in time.
