I am a 27/f & been dating a guy since Jan. He has HSV & sporadic oral OB’s. The 1st time we kissed he had a cold sore I could barely see. I am unaware of the HSV type or stage it was in. Didn’t realize what this meant until later. I’ve been having

Safe sex & kissing him for 4 months. I have NOT kissed him w/any sores since the 1st time. 6 days ago we kissed & had oral, & 3 days ago I noticed a bump at the corner of my mouth. It was ~2mm & looked like a blister/zit or a miniscule

Fever blisters and canker sores sore. Immediately thought I must have gotten HSV. Yesterday (day 2) I squeezed it. It stays white most of the time unless irritated. It hasn’t changed in size/shape since. I tried peroxide &

1. If exposed 4 months ago, & we kiss on a
regularRegular insulin basis, would it normally take this long for an initial OB?
2. They say initial OBs are the most severe & this is a single small bump. Can it still be HSV?
3. Seeing how I have picked at it, & used chapstick, what are the chances that it would have spread by now if it is HSV?
4. Should I be tested for HSV or will it be meaningless at this point?
5. If I do NOT ever have any outbreaks, should I still tell any future partners that I was exposed to it?
6. If this is NOT HSV, & I continue to date him, but avoid kissing when he has an OB, what are my chances of getting the virus? If I haven’t gotten it already does that mean I’m probably immune?
I think you are right. I knew I wasn't going to be completely at ease until I went to a doctor. So I went to the free STD clinic, and the doctor told me after looking at it and scraping it a bit that it is angular stomatitis. I appreciate the time you take to do this for us. Thanks.
