Sounds like a pimple or folliculitis, not herpes. I repeat you cannot possibly have an STD, which is the only topic suitable for this forum. Not all genital area skin problems are due to STD. See a health care provider if you need further reassurance.
sorry doctor, just wanted to add, about 3 days later i noticed a fairly large red bump at the base of my penis, it is sore when i push down on it, i squeezed it and some blood came out, it was in an area that i shaved, is it most likely to be folliculitis? perhaps my gf had asymptomatic herpes? does this change your opinion at all? sorry again to add this on
Almost impossible. STDs rarely cause sore thrsloat; most oral STD infections ate asymptmstic. 99% of sore throats are due to garden variety cold viruses, not STDs, even in sexually active people.
Simply no cause for concern here. Let it go.
ok thanks, just to clarify could her tonsillitis be caused by an STD caught from a previous relationship and therefore am i at risk if she gave me oral sex the nite before she had an obvious sore throat?
It is really not possible that any STD is responible for your partner's illness. Since you have never had sex with anyone else, you can't have an STS. If you had caught genital herpes from your partner by oral sex, that would mean she alreagy is infected, and people with a particular type of HSV (the virus that causes herpes are immune from catching it again.
Almost certainly your partner just has a cold virus or possibly strep throat. Whatever she has, she didn't catch by performing oral sex on you.
I hope this helps. Best wishes -- HHH, MD
