exposure and symptoms

I received oral sex from CSW.

Day 3 - Pulsing throbbing sensation in the lower right abdomen.

Day 8 - throbbing  dull ache in the right testicles with tingling sensation in the penis head. (continued for a week).

week 4 - mild thorbbing dull ache in the right testicles with rare tingling sensation in the penis head.

"I  never had sores, lesions in the penis."

week -6  I had a red colored pin head sized bump on right arm and on the stomach with no pain.

week - 7 - I got 2 new blisters in lower lip (I never had this recently for the past 3 years,  I have had the same kind of blisters during boyhood days)

week 9 - pin head sized red colored bump started healing and also the blisters in the lips also started healing.

when i posted this symptomps in the forum, i got a reply that these are not symptomps of herpes and i thought it may be coincidence.

when i kept reading the old archive in the forum, i got this thread.

now my school of thoughts are, my symptopms are coincidnece. because already sacreadandtired also got the same symptomps after an exposure to unprotected oral sex.


is this some thing asymptomatic herpes. I just received an oral sex for a minute. i'm not going with symptomps in the internet. i want to get it clarified with you .
I'm upset that i cannot lead a married life.

the person who started thread also not posted any thing after his last message.

please grace, can you please help me with this.

I have decided to do type Specific IGg test after three months.

can some one pleasel advice on symptoms after the exposure.

Also first time i came across a thread and i could see one more person having symptoms as me.


grace, it would be of great help. if you evaluate my symptomps.

we respond to each person's situation personally. what applies to one situation, doesn't always apply to another. I'm not going to read other posts that you've found, I'll read about your own situation and apply to that even though you've posted previously about it and received an answer.

You've had a history of mouth sores in the past. Not sure from your description if it's hsv1 orally going on or not but if you had oral herpes as a boy, you still have it and you can still have recurrences of it even if it's been awhile. These are not new mouth symptoms for you so really no reason to worry about them.

Nothing you've mentioned sounds like genital herpes going on. Hsv1 is the biggest herpes risk from receiving oral sex and if you already have that orally, it's incredibly unlikely that you'd contract it genitally from oral sex later on.

have you ever been tested for herpes before to know your own status?

hi grace,

Just an update about my symptoms.
]In my first post, i have mentioned the following symptoms,.
"week -6  I had a red colored pin head sized bump on right arm and on the stomach with no pain. "
three days ago i met my provider, because i got puss filled tiny red colored tiny bump in my left thigh.
when he examined, he said it is folliculitis. i showed my arm and stomach and he confirmed that all are folliculitis.
he gave me antibiotics for three days and crixan gel to apply on the bumps.
it started vanishing slowly.

i understood how i got this.  a month ago, my parents left the home for a vacation and i forgot the food they had left for me.after three weeks  it had formed fungus on the food vessels. so i cleaned it with bare hand. that might be the cause of the follicular infection.
i correlated this as symptoms of herpes. it was coincidence.
now i ruled out one symptoms and confirmed. i also googled and read about it. it is folliculitis.

i really cant get the reason for throbbing abdomen, testicles and buttock ache (at times). i  never got these symptoms in my life time, before the insertive oral sex. that too, i got  these symptoms exactly three days after the oral sex.
another 20 days for my hsv test.
i will keep you updated.
please let me know, if you have any suggestions.

thanks :)

The best thing is to keep working with your provider on your symptoms as you get them.

mold on food won't give you  a bacterial skin infection dear.

folliculitis happens. we are exposed to bacterial 24/7/365 and sometimes it causes us illness. Usually there is no real cause for how you got it - it usually is just the "normal" bacteria on our skin that sometimes gets in where it doesn't belong and/or overgrows to cause us symptoms.

continue to follow up when you have symptoms. nothing you've mentioned sounds like herpes causing your symptoms. also keep active - just sitting around in front of the computer more than usual can cause nerves to become irritated and cause you pain :)

hi grace,

just a clarification about the type of test to be done.

yesterday i went to my provider to show a tiny pus pilled  bump in my inner thigh,
he examined that and said that it is follicular infection.  

i asked him to write for herpes blood test.

he prescribed hsv 1 and 2 igG/igM - As i know that igM results are not reliable. i told him.
he said that he can find it from igG results.

if they do the above mentioned test.
shall i consider the test as herpes type-specific igG as it has igG written by the doctor.

when i went to the lab, i asked them to do igG alone NOT igM. the pathologist agreed.
i also told her about the captia test for herpes.she said she is not aware of that.
what they do is herpes antibodies test for type 1 and 2.
today evening i will be getting the results. i keep you posted.
can you please let me know, will these test results help me to find out my status.

thanks :) for making me to deal the situation with a calm attitude.

sorry if above my post is not clear.

basically,

is HerpeSelect typespecific = HSV type 1 and 2 antibodies igG/IgM.

if igM has false results, shall we ignore igM from the results and only consider igG..

i have requested the lab technician to perform only hsv type 1 and 2 antibodies igG. because they are unaware of the name captica and herpeselect.

thanks.
