do i have an std
I am a heterosexual female and I had oral sex about two days ago. My throat was feeling weird a couple of nights before the incident occured. And i dont know if i am just paranoid but the next morning i looked at my throat and there was a white bump on my tounsil and i was feeling achy and tired. Do i have anything to worry about?

Herpes is hsv. HPV is what causes genital warts and abnormal pap smears.
I would doubt seriously that you would get oral herpes from giving someone who had no symptoms oral sex. Its possible, but not at all likely. It would depend on what type he had on what type you would have orally. You can get either type 1 or type 2 genitally.

when you have oral sex with someone that has genital herpes would you contract hpv1 or hpv2?
Thank you so much for talking me through this. I am just so afraid that i got herpes... that is the worst one which is why i think i am obsessing over this.
I just need to build the courage to actually go to the health center and ask to be tested. I am so nervous. I feel like im pushing my ex away because i am so nervous and i am preparing myself for the worst. Ugh

Well you have myself to talk to. You can send me a private message on here if you want and I am willing to talk to you that way.
Keep trying to talk to your friends back home, they will help you.
If you got gonorrhea-it is easly curable, so is syphilis. Herpes is not but like I said a lof of people in the US have oral herpes. If you ever see someone with a cold sore, chances are they have oral herpes. So if you did get something you could go near your ex because you would not have anything after it was treated.
You are over reacting. Not knowing is the worst thing. It is better to get tested and know and get treated. Go to the college helath center and talk to them and tell them you want to be tested for oral gonorrhea and syphilis after 7 days. Herpes needs several weeks.

I wish i had someone to talk to... i mean i tried to talk to my roomate but she dosnt seem to take me seriously. And i dont think i would tell her if i was diognosed with anything. I have tried to call my friends from back home but its hard to get a hold of them.
I just feel terrible about myself because i am still in love with my ex... who i talk to all the time. I feel guilty and terrible, i want to be with him when we go back home but if i have something i wouldnt want to go near him. I feel somewhat depressed because of this situation.
I just want to know that i am overreacting but im to nervous to get tested. And i dont want to continue to overract about this i hope to god i am just overreacting. I dont want to shame my family. UGH i feel terrible.

Trust me I have been there, in a little bit of a different situation but I have been there.
First calm down because if you got anything from this it is not going ot kill you. Second do you have any close friends that you can talk to? Friends will help you through this.
No need to feel dumb, it has happened to all of us. Hell I had unprotected sex with a girl who was rumored to have HIV. The rumor was unture but how dumb do you think I was?
No symptoms if they did show would not show this soon. Like I said for gonorrhea it probably would not show symptoms in your throat so you would have to get tested to be sure. Like I said you would probably notice if the guy had gonorrhea and if he didn't have any sores on his penis you are pretty safe.

I am sorry i am freeking out about this i just doint know what i would do if i caught something, what i did was totally against my morals and i want to cry. I am so stressed out about this situation.
Yeah I feel incredibly dumb and i would do anything to go back. But i cant so im trying to get through this. Could I even have these symptoms so soon? I am so nervous.
thank you for your advice.

I am not going to lie so yes it is a possibility. But without any sores on his penis you really don't have much of a risk. And as the Dr's on this site have said most sexual encounters do not result in STD transmission. Oral herpes is very common in the US. Most people get it when they are children by having someone older (parent, grandparent) giving them a kiss.
I was in college too just a short 12 years ago and I know what it is like to go out and get drunk and hook up with someone. Being underage and drinking is never good, but I did it plenty myself so I can't tell you to stop. But in the future you should always make the guy wears a condom. During vaginal, anal and oral sex. That way you can be sure that you are doing everything possible to stop STD transmission.
You don't have a lot to worry about, just do your best to make better choices in the future.

Could i have caught herpes?
i am reallllly nervous i have never hooked up with anyone like that ever. I am a freshmen in college and prior leaving for college i was in a relationship for 2 years and was never sexually active with anyone else. I was very drunk (which im never doing again) and i dont really remember much. The male did not discharge in my mouth. Am i over thinking this too much?

Most STD's of the throat do not show symptoms. You probably just have the same problem you had before hand. You could possibly get gonorrhea, herpes or syphilis. Most men show symptoms of gonorrhea-so chances are you would have noticed or he would have noticed something not right with the penis-discharge. Herpes and syphilis-without any noticible sores on his penis you are really not at risk.
Oral sex is low risk for STD's but it does happen. You could always get a throat swab for gonorrhea if you wanted to.
