Herpes from receiving oral sex?
About a week and a half ago I had an encounter with a female. We ended up being intimate and I only fingered her while she performed oral sex on me over the course of maybe 20-30 minutes. Every post I've seen from Drs. HHH and EWH basically confirm that HSV 2 is exceedingly difficult to spread from oral to genital transmission. Am I worrying over nothing? I have already tested positive for HSV 1 in the past as have many others so that's not an issue. I know it's obviously too early to be tested but what would be the earliest I could reliably do so and be able to trust that my result is conclusive?
not everything is herpes dear. kissing as well as just breathing within 3 feet of someone transmits all sorts of non-std related infections.
constipation is not a herpes symptom.
achy joints isn't a herpes symptom at this point either.
are you getting any professional help for your anxiety from all of this?

I should be, but of course the internet just makes everything more confusing because all kinds of things could be responsible for what I'm experiencing. I foolishly interrupted a reconciliation with my ex by accepting someone's advances and I think that's why I'm so paranoid about this. I just worry that I made a horrible mistake and that I'm supposed to pay for it.
All of my bumps checked out fine...they're probably folliculitis. I'm gonna get a sigmoidscopy done to see what's causing it. I will have a final round of STD testing in about a month and my doctor suggested to let the issue go if I find that I'm still negative for HSV-2.
Hi again,
Sorry to be so paranoid, but I've continued to have leg numbness and at times arm numbness (both with weakness) on my right side. It's almost like there's a loss of circulation and it starts at my butt/hip. Would something like that be remotely herpes related without lesions? I got tested at just after four weeks today and will follow up again in 8 and 12 weeks. I'm also being seen by a gastroenterologist for the sigmoidoscopy I mentioned as well as a neurologist. I'm hoping this is all stress, but it just doesn't seem coincidental that I should have fatigue, constipation and neuropathy problems just following a random encounter. I know the odds are in my favor but it's still frightening to thing about.

For reference as far as time:
At a week after exposure, I began feeling extremely fatigued with anal irritation, constipation and itching. I had baseline testing done at this time, all was normal.
Two weeks in I had a positive EBV test which I wanted to attribute my fatigue to.
Three and a half weeks post exposure, I began feeling numbness in my leg and hip as well as into my back. Sometimes my right arm is affected but not always. It continues on today. I got testing done at almost 5 weeks past exposure.
