Genital Herpes From Oral? - Herpes Message Board

Hey I am so scared right now. I am starting not to eat because I am so worried. It has been about 5 days since I have received unprotected oral sex. I don't think I had a cut on my penis, and I am not sure if she had Herpes on her mouth, but I've felt MILD discomfort. Kind of as if I just shaved and small prickles. Nothing itchy or burning. Any help???? I feel like I dont want to live anymore.
by the way, there are no spots or lesions.

Hi DontKnow,

Please relax!! It sounds more like you're suffering from a case of the guilts than anything else. What you describe could be due to many things, stress being the biggest one that comes to mind. Relax, de-stress, don't panic, don't worry, etc., etc. You're probably fine. If you get any other symptoms, go and see a doctor.

In the meantime, please relax and maybe rethink your policy about who/when/how you have sexual contact. If you're going to be *that* upset at the thought of catching something, then I think you need to protect yourself better by choosing your partners, timing and methods a little more carefully.

I'm not criticising, just pointing out a practical reality for you. Even if you do catch something, it is NOT the end of the world! But if you're that sensitive to being upset then you need to protect yourself more in the future.

Good luck! Let us know if you have any further problems with it.

I'm not sure why this isn't showing up on the list as not being replied to, but I thought I'd post another reply and make sure you didn't think your post had been ignored, DontKnow.

...Weird, now it's showing both replies on the message listing page; before it wasn't showing any. Weird.

I received G-HSV-1 3 years ago form someone who didn't know she had it. I got it from rigerous oral she was performing on me...it chafed my skin and probably hers too. My initial ob wasn't cool, but all I ever get now is a red spot about 1/4inch+ in diameter. HSV-1 below the belt is not its natual home and doesn't bother people as much as cold sores. My red spot lasts a few days, cream sends it away faster. It itches a little, otherwise no pain or anything. Its the least of my troubles.

Hope this helps
