Oral HSV-2 Possibility

[needgodshelp]

Hello Terri,

I am freaking out and need general advice for my mental state. I have had Oral HSV-1 as a child and I may have had possible exposure to Oral HSV-2. I was involved in an intense situation. I started to perform Oral on a man for about 3 seconds and relaized I didn’t want to and stopped. However immediately after I felt like my tongue was itchy and gross like I licked a dirty slide. The next morning I had a sore throat and burning lips in the corners. Over the course of the week my symptoms worsened including the following:
– swollen lips
-swollen tonsils
– feeling sick
– burning, tingling, twitching lips
– white tongue
– sore gums
– cuts on gums (heal within a day)
– bump on cheek – healed within a day
– ear pain and headaches and nose congestion

All of my symptoms would come and go throughout the day, especially the itchy tongue and sinus related symptoms and swelling of the lips

Could this be Oral HSV-2? or Thrush? I am not sure and am freaking out.

Thank you

I don’t know what is going on with your mouth but giving oral sex for 3 seconds is extremely unlikely to give you oral HSV 2. and if that very remote thing happened, you would not feel anything right away – it would take 2-10 days to develop symptoms. And if you did develop symptoms they would be exactly like a cold sore. Did you also kiss this person? We certainly can get other germs from people we kiss – other than herpes.

Terri, thank you for the response. I Do have a follow up question. If his penis touched my vagina once, like to enter but I pushed it away and said no… or it slid once.. what is my likelihood of herpes transmission then?

[Terri Warren]

The likelihood of herpes transmission in this situation is incredibly low. Herpes is not as easily transmitted as some people might believe.

Last follow up question,

I have had hsv 1 since I was little. I had unprotected sex and thought I had gotten hsv -2. All the doctors told me that my symptoms were yeast. I tested positive for Hsv 1 but negative for hsv 2 at 12 weeks. I had sex with my partner again in May, this time protected, and now I am experiencing constant burning, shocking, numbness, pinching and tingling down my left inner thigh and grow and leg all the way down to my foot. I am confused on if I should get retested and this is a spread of the herpes virus or if I am experiencing some nerve/back problem.

This honestly does not sound herpetic to me but rather more likely some sort of nerve issue. I was suggest that you see your normal clinician to have this situation evaluated.
