Herpes 1 or 2

[tray9250]

I recently performed oral male to male and kissing and developed an eye infection similar to conjunctivitis for 2-3 days then to gritty feeling with minor eye pain.....continues 25 days from start of symptoms in the eye and about 4 weeks from exposure.    Short time later (week after eye problems)  I began experiencing sciatal itching with small raised bumps and itching on my right buttock.  Did I contract HSV2 from this encounter and is it possible to get HSV in two parts of the body from one encounter

Thanks been down the other road with STD scare about a year and a half ago and now know that the others are very rarely passed by oral....from response from Hooker and Handsfield.  I just am reading conflicting information on Herpes....with HSV1 being spread more and more often by oral sex...genital to genital.   I had the tests yesterday....waiting for results....the eye really scares me....my exposure was almost exactly 28 days....left eye lid became swollen and have had gritty feeling in my eye ever since.....itching started the next week.....and never even thought of HSV or STD till the itching and eye have not abated to date...below the waist is mild with no open sores...only some small raised bumps.  Thanks for your help.......

All most all cases of hsv2 are from genital to genital rubbing contact esp when there are some sores at the time. Acquiring hsv2 oral from oral sex is really not a likely and not something to be overly concerned about at all.But since your married test as below:
1. Gonorehera and chlamydia-----5 days post exposure both oral and penis.
2. Syphilis-------------------6 weeks post exposure
3. herpes 1 and 2 at the 3 month mark
again this is for her protection

Can you get HSV2 from Oral sex.......I am married and do not want to pass my infection...itching is around the lower back and right buttock with no open sores.  Thanks Life 360 for your help....should I get tested?

Hi none of what you mention would indicate that you just contract hsv2 from the oral sex. And if there was no penis or lip sores at the time the risk would be close to zero contacting it from a one time affair. Also hsv2 prefers the genital area not the oral.
If your sexually active you might want to have a hereps test for the protection of others.
