unprotected sex w a female w herpes durring her period
I am so worried that I have maid the biggest mistake of my life! I cant sleep and can't eat so please help if you can.
Two days ago I had unprotected sex w a female that has herpes and she was just starting her period. She assured me that she has had it for 9 years and that she has never given it to anyone and as long as she is not having a breakout having a breakout there is little risk. After the sex I noticed blood on my pens and quickly washed the whole area. Are my chances on getting herpes greater because of the blood? How soon will I know if I have it? I am having intense heat flashes, could that be a symptom?

herpes is not a blood borne virus. coming into contact with menstrual blood doesn't increase your risk of contracting it.
overall your risk of contracting herpes from this partner from just avoiding sex during obvious genital symptoms is 4% on average over the course of an entire year. The risk per sex act is far lower.
we don't recommend testing just because you have had sex with someone who has hsv2. If you plan on continuing a relationship with this gal, we will gladly take the time to advise you further on how to protect yourself and get your risk down even lower.

First of all you shoud learn more about the all STD. I can understand what you are goiong through but we cann't change anything what we have done. I'm also going through.
You can take all STD test but as I said you must wait for 3 months to get test for herpes. If all test comes negative, test again after 3 and 6 months later. Most people ever show any symptoms of hereps!
At this moment be patient. Hope you are safe. Its very too early to daignose. Next time have safe sex unless if know your partners sexual history!

I am a male, the only blood was from her and I do not have any breaks in my skin. She was not and is not having an outbreak.
Is there any test that can be done in the meantime and what will be the first symptoms? Will I have physical signs first or discomfort?

Hi Justin
I guess you are a male but your profile says female. The risk is low if the infected person doesn't has any outbreak but no assurance, you can get infected when she has viral shedding( virus present on the skin but not outbreak) herpes is bascially skin to skin pass on. What I guess you are in risk because yours was unprotected sex. Was the blood from your penis?Any broken skin? then again you are in risk! I'm not scaring you trying to give the information what I know.
You have to wait for 3 months to take IGG blood test for herpes virus 1/2. Incase if you develop any lesion, blister,sore get swab test immediately because the virus active in first 48hrs,
Hope you are not infected.
