Very concerned? about herpes
About 2 years ago I had a brief drunken encounter with a man in which I performed brief oral sex with no ejaculation, we attempted vaginal intercourse unprocted but I am a virgin and he was unable to penetrate and again it was very brief, we attempted another position from behind and his penis entered my anus do to him not having his glasses on and it being completely dark, once it was realized that this was the wrong entry we stopped, again lasting all of maybe a min or two, with that being said that should of been a sign to call it a night, instead he performed oral on me briefly. I have not been tested and hadnt had any kind of symptoms but its been in the back of my mind. Now, let me bring you up to date, about a month ago I had an unprotected oral encounter with a man, just me giving oral, no ejaculation, very brief and about a month or more later I noticed what I call canker sores in my mouth, one one my gum and two in the back of my mouth on the roof. Let me say that I am a smoker about a pack a day and drink several times a week, so I dont know if that has anything to do with it and I have had a very stressful living environment for months, needless to say I am very worried and would like some insight. I have been tested and waiting on results. Tested for herpes and HIV, I am concerned if any of this has anything to do with my encounter from years ago or my most recent encounter or entirely unrelated. Also, based on pictures I have seen of herpes, they dont look like what I believe I have which is canker sores, however upon examining the doctor said she was going to test for herpes. If you could provide some insight
canker sores are not due to herpes. they are completely different from herpes.
no reason to take acyclovir at this point until you've confirmed that you have oral herpes causing any o fyour symptoms.
is it likely you have hsv2 orally? no it is not. It doesn't occur very often and when it does, it doesn't reoccur very often.
bottom line is you need a far more thorough work up to find out what is going on at this point.

Still concerned about herpes!!!
Recently recieved test results back from HIV testing, in which it can back negative. Which clears my mind of the first unprotected ecounter with someone from several years ago as mentioned in my earlier post. However, I know that with my most resent encounter, those results really have no baring being that I believe the test were taken only 2 to 3 months at the most, after my encounter with having had unprotected oral sex, being the giver. As stated in my earlier post, I had begun to see what appeared to be canker sores in the inside of my mouth and palate(not any canker sores/ fever blisters) on the outer part of my mouth and lip. Sometimes appearing to be clustered but constatnly relocating, sometimes I feel like I have something in my ear and I have read that herpes HSV1 like to hide behind the ears! GREAT!!
I went to the clinic and they were unable to do blood type specific for herpes but was prescribe acyclovir in which I began taking on a daily basis 3 times a day, even though I havent been given a clear diagnosis or any at that rate. Basically, after reading and doing research on several different sites, it appears to me that HSV2 rarely occurs in the mouth, however typical symptoms of HSV1, I dont appear to have-It has been stressed to me that HSV1 will have blisters on the outer portion of lip/mouth and rarely in the inside. So I guess Im wanting to know How likely is it that I may have contracted HSV2 orally and are there any other kind of STDs that would produce these kind of symptoms. Ultimately, I will get some blood work done but might not be for a lil while-these tests can be expensive. Also, I did have mononucleosis as a teenager can that reflare up in your system and with these symptoms. Thank you

This could be anything. Your encounters are low risk for oral sex. Your testing was done too soon for the most recent encounter. You need to wait 3 months for an accurate Type specific IGG hsv blood test and same time for HIV testing.
