STD or not?
Hello,
I am male, 25 years old, had unprotected sex with a sex worker 38 days back. She probably was 28-35 years old. The whole sexual encounter lasted around 40 mins and it was mostly kissing and oral (fellitio) but for around 25-30 seconds I inserted my penis in her vagina. The moment I realized it, I took it out. Later, I ejaculate in her mouth.
On the 21st day after the encounter - I had a small cut in my tongue out of nowhere and it was healed within the day
On the 22nd-28th day - red bumps with white center pop-ed up in several places of my body but, except one, those too went away within the day. The exceptional one pop-ed up near my right ear and took around 3-4 days to heal, it was slightly bigger than the others and left its mark there after it was healed. None of these were painful or caused itchy or burning sensation before appearing.
Since yesterday (37th day), I have horrible toothache in the back of my mouth by my wisdom teeth which are still in my mouth and today I also noticed two white spots on the gum of my front teeth (not itchy or painful), which might or might not have been there (I am a chain smoker).
On my 30th day, I consulted with a doctor, he assured me that those probably were not the symptoms of STD but still suggested me to run some tests (CBC, HBSAg, AntiHCV, HSV-1/2 IgG and HSV1) and prescribed me some medicine. All my test came negative except HSV-1/2 IgG test. The result of IgM test came back negative but the result of HSV-1/2 IgG (not specific) was 17.40. My doctor said I had it for quite some time, probably since my childhood, and if I never experienced any outbreaks ever then there is a possibility that I would never experience any for the rest of my life.
Would be really grateful if you please could answer my questions:
1. Can those be the symptoms of any of the Herpes from the recent exposure?
2. Are toothache or the white spots on my gum symptoms of herpes?
3. As IgM result is negative and IgG test have a very high range (17.40) just after a month of the incident, is it possible that my IgM result is false negative and the IgG result is correct, that is, I get Herpes from my recent incident?
4. Should I get tested for Herpes again at the 60th day (2 month after the sexual encounter)?
5. I read from other posts here that the risk of HIV is negligible through oral sex but just to be assure is it possible for me to get HIV in my case (given I probably have weak gum or the issue of that wisdom teeth)?
Thank you for taking the time to read it. I would be grateful to you if you suggest me some advice and clear up my confusion by answering my question. Pardon me for my terrible English and unorganized presentation. Thank you.
