Extremely worried about HSV2
Hello. About 93 days ago, I received protected oral sex from a CSW. The whole thing lasted a minute or so and she did not have any visible sores of any kind that I could see. There also was not any skin to skin contact that I could tell. Then about 45 days ago, I received a handjob from another CSW. Again, no visible symptoms on her hands that I could tell. I have not developed any lesions or flu symptoms, other than a stuff nose, but I was in a very dry climate. I am now worried about possibly passing on HSV2 to my partner, even though I have never shown any symptoms that would warrant an HSV2 infection. I am worried because I have read that most people do not even know that they have it, so wouldn't that mean that they never had an initial outbreak??? Any help is greatly appreciated!!!
Exactly the answer I needed to conclude my fears. Not a single penile sore has arose. The only sore I've had period have been from in grown hairs.
As mentioned by the experts above, there is zero risk of a HSV infection from your activities.
Further, the scrotum rarely experiences herpes sores, and pretty much never without accompanying penile sores.

Now I'm really wondering. In another post you said the lesions can cause no pain. 7 days after the exposure, I had irritation on both sides of my scrotum. No lesions or bumps. But a little redness and irritation. I had put alcohol lotion the night prior on my scrotum about three times. That's when it started to burn. Do you think that was nothing more than folliculitis? I had it checked out and used bactroban which caused it to go away in less than a week. I never had any other symptoms either except for very little urination for about one day.
Yeah I didn't know that at the time and I had accepted the fact that I couldn't possibly have herpes until I recently had a sexual encounter with my partner and now every little sneeze or cough I hear her make freaks me out.
HSV blood testing in this situation made no sense. Even if you had caught herpes, the test couldn't be positive so soon. It takes several weeks.
Thank you for your response! I did have an IGG 2 weeks after the fact with both hsv 1 and 2 being negative. I'm slowly but surely moving on. O have chalked it up to stupidity and have sworn off massage parlors all together.
HSV2 almost never is acquired from oral sex. HSV1 can be, but no way to catch either type with condom protected oral sex or hand job. And your symptoms don't suggest iherpes of either type. Don't give it another thought; there's simply no possibility you caught either one.
Thank you for responding! From what I've read, hsv2 is not actually as easy to catch as they say it is and it is pretty much impossible to catch in my case.
Hi, your 2 affairs was no risk for contracting herpes 1 or 2. None!
