can someone please advise how long these symptoms will last its around 7-8 days now. I'm using medication. still feeling burining snesation on my lips.
ITs 5th day now.
3rd day of putting cream on my lips.
My lips still buring. Infection is still on.
How long does it generally take for outbreat to past.
I dont want to spread it to anyone else.
I need to know after how long I can go normal, in terms of touching and kissing. So I put a control on myself till thad point.
yes you can have symptoms as soon as 2 days post infection.
I think your anxiety is the real problem. you need to relax!!
Hi Grace,
I had a word with 1 guy who had oral sores.
He mentioned he was not aware that he got oral herpes untill he got symptoms after 6 months of his last exposure.
for me its just 2 days after my exposure. and my lips are burning badly.
Farmacist had given me ACYCLOVIR to put on lips for 5 days.
I want to avoid myself into situation of embaracement in office with a sore on my lips. :(
so I started putting this cream on my lips.
But I'm really wondering, are herpes so fast symptoms so fast they just appear in 2 days after exposure.
I need to do my HSV1 and HSV2 test done. but will have to wait for 3 months.
Nothing can be done as of now. I'm just afraid. nothing else.
one kiss is paying me like life. :(
no, burning of the lips for 2 days isn't necessarily oral herpes. you would've had an obvious cold sore by now.
licking the testicles and genital area isn't a real risk for anything.
Hi Grace,
Glad finally you replied,
I went to doctor today and later farmacist. As soon as I told the pharmacist that my lips are burning since last 2 days. she said its herpes.
I'm just wondering, that escort had nothing outside her mouth but inside. so it means herpes can be inside the mouth as well.
Its more or less clear to me that I got herpes on mouth :( (dont know 1 or 2).
I'm just worried now. I might not get it on genitals.
I wore a condom but she licked my testicals and area around testicals. There was no protection in that region.
worried to get genital herpes now.
one thing would like to know during a blood test of HSV1 and HSV2.
does the test also tells which one is on mouth and which one is on genitals. As we know HSV1 can also happen on genitals.
I'm still single looking forward to get married. I'm just afraid I dont want to transmit my stupidity to someone else.
and worried, no one will ready to marry me hearing about herpes on face and genitals (if I got on genitals also) :(
sounds like anxiety at this point more than anything. use something for chapped lips on your lips.
your risk from protected oral is zero.
your risk from protected genital sex is very low for syphilis, hsv2 and hpv. you can test for syphilis after 6 weeks and herpes after 3 months. we don't have commercially available tests for hpv.

I'm just cursing myself for what ever happened.
I's aware enought to know about HSV1 and HSV2 but unfortunately she had nothing outside her mouth (on lips/cheeks) otherwise I would have recognised it right away and not brought her along with me to room.
I came to know about it after many things heppend on bed and she shown me this whithe blister type thing inside her mouth :(
My lips and area around it is burning since yesterday. I'm sure I caught with HSV1 ;(
even afraid if same is passed to genitals as well.
Poor me.
but I'm surprised no one is there on this forum to guide or answer my questions. I've almost spent several hours exploring on internet to find answers to these questions but no luck.
I hope some one may reply to my fear and queries.
Transmission could be any skin to skin contact... so you can still get it even without a cut. :( I feel your anxiety! Just try to relax and hope for the best
I don't know much about herpes in the mouth because I have genital herpes.
What I do know about herpes in the mouth is that they will maybe be more than one sore and they can be inside the mouth (I think). I've seen people with HSV-1 but its usually on the lips. If you see any bump or sore, go to the clinic and have them check it right away. Stop obsessing over internet photos. The only way to know for sure is to be tested. And I don't believe you need a cut for any transmission.
I don't know your answers, so you need to talk to a professional. I can only tell you what I know.
its the 2nd day and now I'm feeling a burning sensation across my lips.
and tickling on my face.
Some one please guide me what is going on. ;(
:(
She was ignorant enough not to know about this.
When she shown me, I got the feeling that she might have herpes.
I'm trying to research on internet since yesterday about it.
Can you please suggest.
a) Do Herpes also happen inside the mouth ?
she had nothing outside on mouth but this white lession (similar like canker sore) was on the inner side of the lip.
b) what are the chances I can escape from transmission during active outbreak or its like 100% transmission risk ?.
c) Do skin needs to have cuts for virus to pass or contact with sliva is enough to get infected.
d) In how many days symptoms appear ? Its just 24 hrs passed my exposure.
I explored almost everything on internet but couldn't get the answers to my question.
Its is scaring me alot.
Please advise.
And you could get type 1 on your genitals by her licking there as well.
Hi! Did she say the sores were herpes? If they were herpes sores, then you could get it by skin contact.
Hi Grace,
You look expert in that could you please advise your view.
I';m really worried.
a) I kissed her lips, licked her lips. There were no blisters on her lips.
but they looked little swollen. The small white sore was on inside of the lip in mouth. not outside.
b) I licked her toungue. Toungue to tongue contact happend.
c) She gave me Oral with condom. but she licked my testicles and other sides around penis.
d) we had intercourse with condom.
After researching on internet today, I'm confirmed, she definitely had outbreak of HSV1 but I'n not sure if she had HSV2 or now but she had lots of rashes and itchy around her genitals not on vagina.
I'm worried about contracting HSV1, HSV2 both on genitals and on mouth.
Please advise.
a) What are the chances of receiving HSV1 orally while having her outbreak.
b) does saliva plays important role in transmission or its only contact with the sore that cause transmission.
c) Is there any hope, I can escape from hepers on mouth and genitals ? :(
d) how much time does it take for symptoms to appear ?
Malaysia.
btw, do HSV keeps inside the mouth ?
like below the lips (inside mouth). She had nothing on her mouth.
and do body needs to have cut to pass the virus ?
Any expert advise will be appriciated .
get tested in 3 months, there's really no way to tell now. Just pray and hope that no symptoms arise, and your tests come back clean (in three months).
What country are you in, by the way?
Please someone advise.
:(
