Herpes

by Exportscared, Jul 08, 2008 05:00PM
I had unprotected sex including oral with a girl 5 days ago. After the first day I developed a soar throat and after 2 days my tongue has developed a white coating and is swollen.

I went to the clinic today where they took samples including a penis and throat swab.

After leaving the clininc tonight I have noticed a two small soar's one on the inside of my upper lip and one on my lower gun. I'm now starting to think that I must have contracted an STD and was wondering if these sypmtoms are common with either gonorrhea, herpes or other!

Could you please advise and should i return to the clinic now that i have these two soars or will the throat swab be sufficient.

Advice is greatly appreciated as the clinic advised it would be two weeks before i recieve the results

These could be many things from a std to a non- std bacterial infection or even a fungal infection. At this point continuing to follow up on it with your provider is the best course of action.  I know that's not quick and easy answers but it's the best  that can be done at this point.
