HSV 2 from a single counter of oral sex???

[Stacy423]

Is a herpes culture always correct? In July 2001 I had my first and only "sexual" experience. Up until this point I was a 17 year old virgin in every aspect of the word. That night a boy that I knew from school performed oral sex on me for a few minutes. I felt uncomfortable in the situation and left. A week later I got what I thought were herpes symptoms and went to the doctor. I believe that he did just a culture test and it came back positive for hsv 2. No blood test was every performed. I was devastated!!! This was almost 10 years ago now and I have never had any other outbreak or symptoms of anything. What are the chances of this culture test being wrong? Lately I have been thinking about this diagnosis a lot and I am ready to get some answers. I have also been reading hundreds of posts and websites that say that acquiring hsv2 from oral sex is extremely rare, especially on the first occasion. Please help, any answers would be greatly appreciated!!!

if you need help with your results when you get them, just post them here for me- e.g. hsv1 igg 7.8 and hsv2 igg .23 or whatever they are.

best of luck!

I just wanted to let you know that I finally got the courage to go get a blood test. I should receive my results in about 5 days. I will let you know what they are when I get them. Please say a prayer for me!!!

get tested to see what your status is and go from there. you can have your current symptoms looked at also.

it's a heck of a lot of guessing until you get that testing done dear.

Is it possible to acquire both hsv 1 orally and hsv 1 genitally at the same time but only get a genital outbreak right away and an oral outbreak years and years later?

[Stacy423]

I never did, no =( I still have not had the courage to get tested.

Can you get oral hsv 1 after having a well established hsv 2 genital infection?
