9 months ago i had unprotected oral sex with a csw. I am a male, she was female. A month later i noticed a single small pimple looking thing developing on the left side of my frenulum just below the head. It was completely painless and mostly resembled a pimple. About 4 or 5 days after showing up I popped it. It released a small amt of liquid and then bled a little. It developed a tiny little scab at the top of the bump which fell off a day or so later. The bump stayed raised as it went away. I could even feel it under the skin when it was no longer visible for a few days. Never caused any pain. never ulcerated or blistered. slight itchiness right after i popped it. It has never came back in the nine months since. At 10weeks 5days post encounter i had an igg hsv2 ( i know i get cold sores) specific test that came back negative and felt pretty confident until i started reading about the 12 to 16 week mark for suggested testing. About a month ago i managed to injure myself masturbating. I am 90% sure this is what happened. I have a half inch long striae looking mark slightly above my circumcision scar that is annoying when it touches my underweear. My doctor looked at it and told me the same thing and said it was clearly not herpetic. . i remember clearly it started hurting after particularly aggressive masterbation. Nonetheless this has thrown me into a tailspin of doubt. My reasonable mind tells me it isnt herpes and to get on with my life but my other half of brain is freaking out that i have ruined my life and my families. I am also terrified to get another test for fear that i have a false positive that forces me to come clean and ruin everything. Does this sound like any ob you have ever seen. should i be worried. i know oral is low risk for hsv2 even from a csw and i am 98% that i have had cold sores which makes me somewhat immune to ghsv1. I just need someone with your knowledge to tell me their opinion. Thank you. your forum has already eased my mind considerably.

I think you are not infected with HSV 2. If you tested negative at almost 11 weeks post exposure and the only exposure was oral and you already have a history of cold sore, I think the risk of you seroconverting now, later, is extremely low. Do you know what the index value was on your HSV 2 test, or was it reported as just <0.9?

I don’t really know what to make of the bump – some kind of reaction to friction perhaps? The point is though that your HSV 2 is negative now and I think that’s all you need to know.
