I'm 19 and have only slept with one person. Unfortunately he and I had unprotected sex a week ago. Last night I started bleeding (even though I just had my period a week ago) which I know is a symptom of chlamydia. I also have small bumps on the insides of my cheeks (we had oral sex) and I know that this could either be syphillis or oral herpes. From what I understand, the syphillis bumps are painless, while the oral herpes are painful. I am thinking that mine is probably syphillis since they aren't really painful. I have an appointment at Planned Parenthood on Friday but I need to know immediately if syphillis or oral herpes can be transmitted through kissing. I am seeing another guy who I am not sexually active with (having sex with my ex, the person I lost my virginity to was just a HUGE one time mistake from being too intoxicated) I am suppossed to see the guy I am with tonight and I might cancel my plans with him if there is any chance he can get anything from kissing me. If I have syphillis or oral herpes (I do not have bumps anywhere but the insides of my cheeks) can he only get it if one of us has a cut in our mouth? If someone could be please give me any info as soon as possible about kissing and spreading of these diseases I would really appreciate it. I am very scared and upset to possibly have chlamydia and syphillis or oral herpes and really need advice. I would also like to tell everyone to be careful, I may have gotten 2 (or more) STD's from my first time not using a condom and first time giving oral sex. You definately can't tell by looking at someone. I have called my ex and he is going to get tested. Thanks for any help

Personally I would cancel the date. If you are uncertain what you have, better safe than sorry. I can't help on an over the internet diagnosis, but you may want to consider a walk-in clinic instead of waiting until Friday. I would still go to Planned Parenthood on Friday and get some condoms and information.
Good luck,
