Brief Oral Male on Female

[LM56]

I have posted before awhile ago and read these forums a good bit so I probably know the answer but wanted to ask anyway for some piece of mind.

A few nights ago I had a bad experience at a strip club with some friends.  I know I kissed the girl and may have performed brief oral and I say may have because I just don't remember due to alcohol.  I did finger her as well briefly.  I know this is a very low risk event based on reading this forum, the caveat is that earlier in the day I kind of bit my tongue while eating.  

So my question is how much more of a risk am I at to contract an STD, I am assuming it is still relatively low risk, as I know the cut was not open and bleeding by the time the event took place and it was way back on my tongue and likely did not enter her mouth or vagina, but wanted your thoughts.

Also, I have read on here that herpes lesions most commonly take about 3-5 days to show up, but can take up to two weeks rare instances.  How common is it to take two weeks?

I am also assuming you would not recommend getting tested in the absence of any symptoms right?  Just don't to pass anything along to my wife.

Thanks.

Yes, gonorrhea can clear on its own. EWH

Thanks Dr. - I thought I read somewhere chapped lips could be a sign of herpes.

I noticed on another thread you mentioned a slight risk of gonnorhea from oral but no symptoms.  Does it just go away on its own?

No, chapped lips are quite differetn form the lesions of herpes.  On the other hand, when we get nervous, we lick our lips a lot.  I'd just go with Chap Stick.  EWH

Last question hopefully - I have been experiencing chapped lips for the past couple of days, is this indicative of anything like HSV.  I assume since it occurred so soon after potential exposure (1-2 days) it may not be related, but just wanted to double check.  Not even sure if chapped lips are a symptom of HSV.

Thanks.

[Edward W Hook, MD]

Correct on both counts. I would not worry. EWH

Thanks Dr. - very helpful and reassuring.

I assume you would tell me no need to get tested in the absence of symptoms in the next day or so and fine to have intercourse with my wife?

Welcome back to the Forum.  I'll be pleased to provide some information.  Several comments about your oral sex on a dancer:

1.  As you already know from your prior post, there is little risk of STD from a man having oral sex performed on him.  This risk is even lower for a man performing oral sex on a woman due in part to anatomic considerations.  
2.  Biting your tongue does not in any meaningful way increase your already very, very small risk of getting an STD from performing oral sex on a dancer.  The mouth is a hostile environment to bacteria and other microbes, full of enzymes and other factors which help to resist infection.

As for your question about HSV. the vast majority of lesions appear in the 4-8 day range.  Only a small proportion (I would guess less than 5-10%) appear after a period of 10 days.

Hope this information is helpful. EWH
