Thank you for your wonderful work here it is invaluable to many.
CIRCUMSTANCE:
- Risk: 30sec to 1 min of gentle unprotected oral sex (plenty of saliva) as insertive male partner by female CSW from SE Asia, where Hep B is more prevalent.
- No sores or blood evident on CSW mouth, inside unknown.
- No sores/blood present on penis after. Washed and urinated few minutes after.
- No other exposure aside from brief deep kiss.
- 28 days since event, no typical symptoms, (no swollen lymph, no sores in genital area, no discharge)
- 100% Clear of all STD's prior to event above
AREAS OF CONCERN
- History of Oral HSV-1 couple times/year on right side of lip, occasionally under nose, so outbreak location sometimes varied.
- 24 days after above exposure - small, slightly raised, pea-size irritation/swelling behind front right tooth on hard palate (after a night of very little sleep). Slight pain typical of herpes outbreak usually on lip. 2 days in, area is now slightly uniformly red, as opposed to being slightly white tinted before. No swollen lymph nodes/fever.. otherwise feel fine aside from major anxiety. Guessing, it would seem typical of the usual herpes outbreak but on palate. In retrospect, MAY have had similar feeling before on hard palate but never examined area visually, as symptoms were mild and went away in about 4-7 days, and at that time there was no worry of any STD exposure risk hence no paranoia.
VARIOUS QUESTIONS:
1. Risk for acquiring HEP B/HIV? What if asymptomatic HSV-2 were present?
2. Would HEP B or HIV PEP have been recommended by a doctor?
3. Can primary Syphilis sore occur in the mouth if exposure was genital?
4. Is mild Herpes outbreak on hard palate so very rare normally, that it could indicate primary HEP B or HIV infection with absence of other classical symptoms (fever, ect.)
5. Would you personally recommend testing for HEP B or HIV for JUST the above risk, setting aside any psychological reasons to test.
