hello. here's my story.i am a male,24. A month ago i had Protected vaginal sex with a stripper( i know a dumb mistake because i was drunk). we kissed for maybe 20 seconds...she performed oral on me while i had the condom on and then had vaginal sex while i had the condom on...i did *** while i had the condom on. By the time i walked out i was not that drunk n i realized what i did. so i wiped my genital area with rubbing alcohol because that's the only thing i had access to at that time.
Since that night i been freaking out about herpes because you can get herpes even if you use a condom..the anxiety is killing me i am being very paranoid(some of it is the guilty part)....i went for the tests two days ago and i am waiting for the results...until i wait for the results...what are my chances? thanks in advance!

If you have new symptoms that you've never had before, then it's time to go and be seen and get them checked out. This really doesn't sound like herpes but it's a good idea to find out what is causing them and treat it properly.

hi guys...i am sorry to bother you guys...but i have another question....if u read my last post i had hiv and std test and every thing came back negative after 6 weeks of the incident. Now i actually have redness on my penis shaft....the whole shaft is not red..its the bottom half....i am uncircumcised and when i pull the skin back it's on the shaft n on some of the skin i pull back...Also i did masturbate a 2-3 times in the last few days...my question is do u think its herpes related(sign of herpes) (no bumps or lesions..just redness and i dun't think its swollen or anything) or it could be a rash or something from masturbating(i did not use and lube or anything).
Grace or anyone else with the knowledge i would REALLY appreciate your response. thanks in advance

whats up guys. thanks for all the input. i really appreciate your help.
I got my results and every thing came back Negative(HIV & STD). Now test was exactly after 6 weeks. Do you think i need another one in a few weeks or should i move on with my life since i had protected sex and it wasn't that risky and it was mostly anxiety n guilt. i ask this because i heard Herpes can take longer to show up(for now its negative n i don't even know if the lady i had sex even had it)
thanks

The chance from a one time protected encounter is teeny tiny. Don't worry about it.

Also never clean your sensitive genital skin with alcohol!! The virus works its way into the body during the sex act itself - it doesn't stick around on the skin working its way down.  After sex is over, it's too late to make a difference.  In the future though - just plain ole soap and water is all it takes on the genitals.  Use anything stronger and you risk irritating the skin and causing other issues to just add to your anxiety about it all.

Thanks Daisy for a Quick and a Great answer. so for i don't have any symptoms, which i hope is a good sign. Yea, i am not even sure if she had herpes or not. Mostly its my anxiety so i hope i come back negative. And in my past sex life i have always used protection and i haven't been in stupid situation that i got myself into this time.
Thanks again.

It is possible to get Herpes even with protected sex it all depends on
1. IF the person had HSV2 in the first place
2. IF her outbreaks are outwith the coverage of a condom

It's a very low risk situation so I wouldn't worry about it unless you have symptoms that would lead you to believe you may have it ......
You were wise to get tested for your own peace of mind but I'm pretty sure you'll return a negative result providing you haven't had unprotected sex in the past that may now show something in the test that is not related to the sex a month ago you may have contracted it some time ago,only you know what you're past sexual safety precautions were .....
