HSV1 symptoms??

My hookup from 2 weeks back, after getting tested this week, informed me that on the igg she has a 3 for hsv1 and a negative for hsv2, her last hookup before me being 2.5 months ago.

She had no cold sores when we hooked up and had never had a symptom according to her. We performed oral on each other unprotected for about a minute or two and had protected sex for less than 30 seconds.

I had an irritable tip of the penis for these past 2 weeks; it's definitely much better now but I can tell a bit, especially after I urinate.

However, for the past 3 days, my body has been getting assaulted by a variety of things--back pain, ear pressure in my right ear, and lymph node pain right near me ear. I've had a sore throat on and off, very mild and I feel it's more the product of my lymph node violating my neck repeatedly for periods of 3 hours at a time. I have no sores anywhere.

Is this HSV 1? Is this an outbreak? I don't feel tired or anything, just my lymph nodes and weird back pain.

Thanks

Swollen lymph nodes present only rarely in response to HSV. It's hard to make a guess, since your symptoms could be from so many things. Take the blood test at 16 weeks, and in the meanwhile, please don't stress.

Also, you really need to have your symptoms checked, since they clearly are causing you discomfort.

Still no sores ( very tiny bumps only for past week) and my lymph node in my neck is going gangbusters on me.

What is this? I'm sorry for this many posts I'm just crazed from this particular symptom

Negative as of a week ago for 1 and 2. No sores...

Still, for being a "skin" disorder this feels nothing like it.

No headaches, nausea, or fatigue, just the above.

There would be some chance of an infection given exposure to this partner. Not that she is any different to 60% of all women that have an oral HSV1 infection.

Do you know your own status? There is a pretty good chance you have HSV1 already.

Otherwise it is a waiting game. Have any sores swabbed and have a blood test from 12 weeks for IgG antibodies.
