Is this related to herpes

[sacredandtired]

I'm a male of 36 yrs. Had protected vaginal sex with a CSW 7 weeks back. Before I wore my condom she tried to give me a blow job without a condom. The unprotected oral exposure on my shaft was only about 30 seconds. After this I wore a condom and continued  a oral and vaginal penetration.

Day 4 after exposure - mild headache at the back of the head and in the left eyeball. Also has a lesion in the inside of the lower lip that eventually turned into a blister that recurs even now. I remeber biting the lesion while eating.

Day 10 after exposure - mild fever; Was on antibiotics for a week after which fever & headache subsided. Had mild sensitivity while urination but No noticeable blisters on the penis.

The symptoms that persit till date (7 weeks after exposure) are :

The recurring lesion blister inside my lower lip which breaks with little pus

Mild pain in the back of the head

Pain in the left eye ball and ear. I feel mild blur in the left eye

Left eye irritation (no redness)

My question is:

1) Is it possible that the CSW infected me with HSV 1/2 during the 30 second oral on me. But I have no blisters on my shaft

2) Is it possible that the blister in my mouth is due to HSV. But I did not have any contact with the CSW with my mouth

3) Is my head ache and eye problem related to Herpes infection

Thank you for the answers..I am really worried..

Thank you grace for your response. While I am working on the logistics of geeting my partner tested, I wanted your advice on the risk of hsv1 transmission genitally to my partner due to the one time brief cunnilingous i performed on her. Does such one time brief exposure result in transmission of HSV1 genitally (which I understand does not prefer the genital areas).

your partner would need tested for herpes to know what her hsv1 status is in order to make educated decisions about what precautions to take together for oral sex together.

correct, you are hsv1+ and hsv2-.

Dear Grace..I appreciate your valuable advice on my test and the risk to my regular partner due to the one time brief cunnilingus I performed on her.

The results were meant to read as follows:

HSV-1 IgG: 5.73
HSV-2 IgG: 0.11

1.2 Positive

Dear Grace..I think I have some sensible results to share with you now. The results (17 weeks after my exposure) are the following:

HSV-1 IgG: 5.73 (1.2 Positive)
HSV-2 IgG: 0.11 (1.2 Positive)

From the results of this type specific test, Can I now assume that I am positive for HSV-1 and negative for HSV-2? Whether my positive HSV 1 is due to my with my current exposure or whether I had had it before.

I do not have any genital symptoms. I have no obvious cold sores now, though I had what I thought to be canker sores/lesion in my mouth since childhood. Last week, I had a swelling on my lower eye lid with a small white blister along the eye lash. This lasted for 2 days. Is this a symptom of oral/ocular HSV-1?

I perfomed brief oral sex on my regular partner last week, whose HSV status is not known. Assueming that my HSV-1 is oral, What are the chances that I could tannsmit HSV1 to her genitally from this brief encounter?

Pls help..I seem to be in a real mess..
