Oral Herpies?
Today i went into emergency room due to what i thought was a strep infection. The dr there told me i have herpes in my mouth and thats what was causing me to have a fever, headache, swollen lymph nodes and swollen gums and etc. I was shocked since im not sexually active, my doctor suggested i get tested for hiv and gonnorhea since im consider high risk now? my only exposure was the needlepoke which was i was told here not to worry about about it. Should i be worried about hiv? Is my life really over and am i contagious forever?
The doctor didn't tell me he just show told me the sores I had in my throat,gums, tongue were all herpies. I been really sick. I just don't understand how I got it.
He started me on antiviral meds as well. Should I be concern about other stds?

Hi and welcome. HIV not a risk when a condom is used. What type of herpes were you diagnosed with?
