Had protected sex and unprotected oral with guy who now knows he has herpes.
The guy told me yesterday that he found out he has herpes two weeks ago. We had sex one month ago, on the second of August. I've had sex with three other guys since then. I feel like a *****, I feel disgusting. I'm so afraid that I passed it to all of them and I don't even know if I have it yet. I got tested today but the next few days are going to be anxiety ridden. I have to work and go to class, but I am falling apart losing my mind and becoming suicidal. I feel that I have herpes, I know there is something wrong but I don't know what it is. I'm never going to be sexually active with more than 1 guy again, I need help but I don't know what kind of help. I just need help I don't know what to do. I don't know what the likely hook that I got herpes from one sexual encounter with a guy who has herpes is.
Do you know if the guy had oral hsv like cold sores or a genital infection? Was he diagnosed with hsv1 or hsv2.
Your single protected sex is really safe sex. A single non protected exposure to a known positive partner has a 1 in a 1000 chance of contracting the virus. A one time protected exposure is such a low risk it's almost zero. Plus a condom protects the female better than the male.
I would have your Dr examine you again but I do not suspect you contracted hsv from your single protected exposure.

The doctor couldn't see anything wrong but I got tested. I tested positive for herpes 1 and apparently I tested high for the herpes 1 and herpes 2 combination, but there was no way for them to tell which one it is so they did further testing. I feel like it has been such a waste of time for them to tell me they didn't do any of the right tests so now I'm waiting again. The doctor said if I tested high for the combination and I was exposed to herpes the chances are I do have herpes. But I freaked out and told her that answer wasn't good enough. So they're doing more testing. I am on my period for the second time since the exposure and still no symptoms although I am examining every 30 seconds and becoming increasingly paranoid about possibly nothing. No burning pee, no flu symptoms, a slight bump on my inner thigh but it doesn't have the characteristics of herpes in my opinion.
My symptoms are white discharge all over my vaginal area, I'm itchy and I can feel it localized in one spot on the left side. I just got over gonorrhea too, my vagina hurts and I can't sleep.
