I am worried about Herpes
I am 24 years old male and virgin. I encountered with an escort 18 days ago. I had performed unprotected oral sex on her and received protected oral sex from her. while performing oral sex I did not notice any bumps, sire on her vagina and anus. It was very brief encounter that last for 20 seconds.
This was my first sexual exposure in whole life. the very next day I had gone through herpes blood test that came with negative result. 14 days after the first exposure I have been suffering from sore throat and swollen gums. What could be the chances of getting oral herpes and other STDs with these symptoms???
I am extremely worried. Plz help me!!!!!!!!!!!

most adults do have oral herpes. it's very common. follow up with your provider at this point.
i heard that lips to lips incident may lead to oral herpes and as i touched my lips to her so what are the chances of having oral herpes???
oral herpes is transmitted by romantic type kisses as an adult. as a small child, it's easier for us to contract.
honestly, nothing else we could possibly help you with at this point. follow up with your provider for anything going on including issues with eating and sleeping.

I just touch my lips to her lips (not romantic and french kissing) 4-5 times. How am I prone to herpes???
This is my last question.
This is my last question.
This wasn't a risk to begin with. Not much more we can offer you here on a web forum. Move on from herpes.
No..It did not hurt at all. I am very worried because of following things.
1. On 10/06/2010; I performed oral sex on an escort.
2 . On 10/20/2010;13 days after oral sex I had sore throat and ulcer inside mouth.
3. On 10/24/2010 I got recovered from sore throat after gargling with warm water and salt.
4. While gargling I had cut on my mouth by an utensil and then salt was saturated over there.
2 days after gargling 10/26/2010 I had small pimple just below my lip near the corner. I just squeezed it and it did not reappear. I also showed it to my doctor and she told me it is not a cold sore.
now tomorrow, I am going to meet STD doctor regarding testings.
What do you think regarding it???

if you are having problems eating and sleeping, talk to your doctor about it.
Hi Grace, I just squeezed that pimple. I do not see anything over there. 2 days back I had done gargling with warm water and plenty of salts and did not wash my outer lips properly then I started scratching the portion just below my lower lip at the corner. I think that could be the reason for pimple. At the same time I am so anxious that I have been staying up late night searching for herpes symptoms since last 25 days. I do not eat properly so do all these things contribute to my bad health instead of herpes???
you were seen and they didn't feel that it looked like herpes.
To Grace: I am really worried 21 days after the exposure I found very tiny pimple just below my lips. I went to student health center but the doctor told me you do not need to worry about it because it does not seem like a cold sore. I am not sure about her opinion. Plz help me..
It looks whitish

No - it's never zero. Grace already stated this above.
does a person who is not exposed to oral herpes show zero antibodies in IgG test??
To Grace
For my sore throat 14 days after the exposure the doctor gave me acyclovir tablet. But I took only one dose and stopped taking those tablets in order to see whether it is because of cold sore or just viral infection. I got my throat fully recovered in 3 days after I stopped taking acyclovir. so does that mean sore throat was not due to herpes virus??

you never get a zero as a result due to the way they do the test. your igg is a clear negative.
I have never had core sore in my life then why IgG test showed 0.09 scale??? So does that mean I have cold sore. when I was 16years old, I got worst chicken pox and is it the reason to show 0.09 scale in IgG test??
If someone not having Oral herpes perform IgG test then for that does the test show 0.00 antibodies???

plus you received protected oral sex dear - you weren't at risk for genital herpes from it!
if you aren't sure if you have a rash then I can pretty much guarantee that what you are worried about isn't worth worrying about :)
If you contracted genital herpes from this encounter, it typically presents with very obvious and very painful symptoms.

ok well what dose hurpes look like when u first break out? I think I may have a rash but not sure... Dose it come as one blister or like a rash with tiny tiny red marks?
you never needed any testing at all from this encounter.
getting tested the very next day was a complete and total waste of your money and time.
Your oral symptoms don't sound std related. if you are concerned, be seen monday and ask for a throat culture for std's.
really no reason to repeat your herpes testing or anything else. Be educated, not scared!

Hi Inf198
I'm a victim, not expert. I'm just help you. Once you suspect that you may infected by STD then anxiety,its normal with human mind. I could tell your encounter was low risk and moreover you don't have any symptoms till now(18days) Hope you are not infected. Nothing you can do now, may be avoid sex for 2 more month for IGG test.
In this forum usually Grace reply the post, there so many of them like me also reply. Even my doc said 8 weeks after exposure for test but my IGG test shown positive for herpes 1 in 4 weeks, most expert says accuracy after 3 months.

This is my last question
I had performed IgG test for Herpes I and came with the result 0.09 that indicates that the result is negative. ( for positive result the count should be more than 0.9 ) So does the number 0.09 indicates I am infected with herpes I??
Once again thanks a lot for supporting me through out the period by providing useful information. In my life I wont do such kind of stupid actions agian and would like to alert the people who are not infected with STD to think twice before you lose your control!!!!!!!! refrain from sex till ur marriage!!

For Herpes/HIV( your are not at HIV risk) you need 3 months to test IGG type spefc virus 1 and 2, for others infection I guess 2-4 weeks will do and Syphilis 6 weeks.( Grace am I right) If you really worried, may be take test for STD. Thats help you put your mind ease.
