Oral hsv2 possibility ?

[Soflee91]

Hello Terri 🙂 I’m a young 22 year old female who has been through a lot this year and has used sex to make mysf feel better and up my self esteem . However I’ve learned that is not the way to go . I got tested for stds including herpes July 6 herpes results came out negative for hsv1 and hsv2 before then I had not had sex for 9 months . A few weeks later jJuly 25th I had protected sex with a male but i performed unprotected oral sex on him for maybe a minute probably even less then that & that was it for the night . It’s almost three weeks now I had not seen any vaginal lesions that suggest herpes what’s so ever I had a white head pimple in my groin I popped it and pus came out , I also had a rash that was gone in two days . Nothing suggest herpes down there . However one night I went to sleep I don’t remember if I took of my makeup that night at all , I do know for a fact I was sleeping on dirty pillows which were on my dirty floor that day and I was sleeping on it with out a pillow case. I do tend to break out when I do that . I I woke up that morning August 3rd 9 days after sex like nothing I felt no pain or anything on my lips or on anything on my face . I took a shower like nothing . When I went to brush my teeth I saw a red spot above my lip , really it was just red spot , it looked like irritated skin from the dirt on my pillow I also had a pimple on my cubics bone which I was able to pop and visually see the white waxy puss on my hand I was squeezing it out , but I also had what appeared to be an actual white head on my actual skin of the lip ! It didn’t look like a blister it looked like an actual white head I remember touching it with my finger tip and it felt firm . It didn’t look like a blister but more like a white head pimple coming to a head. The thing is I wasn’t really able to examine it so well because i panicked and tried to pop it right away . I remember when i put my two fingers together to try and Pop it looked like any old pimple that I was squeezing together. The way it got more white the more I squeezed and all the white stuff was coming to the surface . However I popped it so quick I wasn’t able to see thee pus in my head or between my finger or anything . Infact when I popped it I saw no pus visually in my hand or anywhere on my lip . This worries me because I wasn’t able to visual see the pus or feel it between my fingers to prove to me it wasn’t herpes or is . I’ve had white heads before where I popped it so quick that i don’t see the pus either before thoug. Anyways after I popped it , it wasn’t an open sore or anything it was really just red skin on my lips redder then my natural red skin maybe a small little hole that I could barely see . Through out the day that part of my lip jus became really dried out , and the next two other days it was just dry skin in the area but it was darker then my normal lip skin. Basically it was completely gone by day 3 with no trace of it what so ever. It looked like a pimple , it felt like a pimple , it pretty much healed the way my pimples would heal. I think on day two I might’ve seen the smallest scab I have ever seen on it that u couldn’t notice unles there was a light on it but I was picking at my lips pretty bad though but that smal scab fell off within minutes of noticing it .& I don’t even no if it was a scab. Pretty much the healing consisted of the skin drying up and just flaky white dry skin around it . My pimples would heal like this sometimes . There was no pain at all either and it was gone completely in three days . I’m just worried about the fact that it was right in my lip and if pimples / white heads can show up there? I’m reading some articles say they can show up on the lip and it’s possible , but some also so it isn’t possible . I don’t kno what to think . Part of me thinks it was a pimple because I had that lip irritation that was also there that morningthat btw dissapeared the next day , and the white head on my cubic bone that I was able to see the white waxy puss on my hands . So I’m thinking that area of lips/ mouth got all irritated and dirty w bacterial from my pillows? But also idk if the bump on my lip coulda been herpes because I have never heard of a pimple forming directly on the lip and because I was able to visually see the pus in my hands . No clear fluid ever came out of it , I don’t think . & it was completely gone writhing 3 days after popping with barely a mark . I don’t know what to think … I know obviously take a blood test 4 months from the date but even if it is positive that wouldn’t tell me that’s what my lip bump was ..? What do u think Terri ??? What should I do / think , what do u think ? Is it possible to get a white head on ur lip ?? Helpppp meeeee

I’m sorry I noticed a typo * I wasn’t * able to see the pus visual in my hands after I popped it * but I thought I saw it coming to surface .

HSV 2 oral infection is really uncommon and when people do have it, it is shed from the mouth on only about 3 days out of the whole year. I seriously seriously doubt that this is what is going on with you. I have yet to see, in 33 years of practice, someone acquire HSV 2 orally from someone giving oral sex to another person. I’m not saying it isn’t possible but I am saying I think it is extremely unlikely.

The HSV 1 screening test misses about 25% of HSV 1 infection so it is possible that you could have HSV 1 orally and the antibody test is missing it.

No I had a Wb test also Terri I was negative for both . I had a low positive at one point so I had to take he Wb .

[Soflee91]

However I took the Wb 5 months which was negative then I took another igg which was negative 9 months after the sex in those 9 months I was celibate I did have a kissing partner .. So maybe it is hsv1. Either way does this sound like herpes though ? Oral hsv2

[Terri Warren]

It does not. Not at all to me.

Terri

[Soflee91]

If I may ask, why doesn’t it sound like herpes ?

[Terri Warren]

You have used all of your posts. I would say the western blot should be the defining test for you. Also, herpes does not present at all like a white head. It presents on the lip with small water blisters.

Terri a week after this happen I started to get an itch on my left eye it felt itchy like allergies type of itch so I scratched and scratched a lot then I felt my eyes get swollen . The next day I work up pretty much with a conjunctivitis my eye lid was swollen but my eye was smaller then the other and they were crusted together . And it was watery it persisted like this for two days and my mom gave me drops that she used when she had an eye infection it now day 5 after after having put it for two days the redness went down the pus went down but it’s still visibly smaller then the other and I have a swollen neck lymphnode on the same side where my eye is infected . I have no other symptoms though nothing in my mouth or genital area . Could this be a symptom of a new heroes infection?? It seems to be going down but still .. Now I’m even more worried

[Soflee91]

I can’t sleep Terri 🙁 it’s just my little sister touched my infected eye I’m so worried now . I didn’t think anything of it at the time

[Soflee91]

Barely slept but I woke up with that infected eye just purely crusty and my eye lid was stuck together and crusty but no dischArge just a watery look to my eye but the other eye i woke up with a very small speck of greenish watery mucous idk if this has to do with what’s going on. And my lymph node on my right side of my neck hurts very littler now almost back to normal

[Soflee91]

update I just came back from the doctor, and he was an opthomologist..he looked at my eye did tests I explained to him my whole situation..he said he couldn’t tell if it was viral or bacterial. I explained to him about the possible coldsore on my lip. he said that if it is eye herpes it wouldn’t be hsv2. he also said although he cant tell if its either viral or bacterial it would most likely be bacterial. He also said that it looks like it MIGHT be starting in my other eye. I also have throat congestion and phlem no pain though i’m thinking maybe that’s why my lymph node in my neck is swollen. Can congestion be a sign of herpes? also I wanted to add I felt no photophobia or blurred vision at all during this eye infection. im still worried that if this is all herpes that it would be hsv2 orally and facially. I mean the night I had sex we did kiss I just don’t remember how deep and long it was. and I know I gave oral for about 30 secnds to a minute. P/S I Tested negative btw for hsv1 and hsv2 before this sex act & I did the western blot as well and it was negative for both.

I keep thinking I might’ve passed this to my 7 yr old sister who did just touch my eye liid :/ and she didn’t wash her hands uhh I’m filled with anxiety!!!!

[Soflee91]

Terri , I developed what I believe very small fluid blisters very very small I showed my mother and she said it did kinda look like small blisters but she’s not sure that maybe it’s not because seriously they are so so tiny u can’t see them unless I put the light on my phone to them , but they weren’t there before . And it’s on the same side where the initial “white head bump on my lip was” I also have this eye infection thing still going on w a swollen neck gland. *sigh * I jus keep thinking about my 7 year old sister how I might’ve infected her w which ever herpes this may be . I guess today I’m going to try and go and get this looked at and swabbed . I’m pretty sure I’ve kissed my baby sister in the cheek before these symptoms ever started so I’m worried about that , also worried about when she touched my eyelid . 🙁 I think we should ignore all the questions I’ve asked and just focus on this last post because I now believe it deff is herpes . I guess it’s more likely I have hsv1 from my last sexual act because we did do deep tongue kissing I think and mouth kissing I just don’t remember how long is that makes a difference and deff did perform oral sex on him for maybe a minute and I have no genital symptoms that I can notice . The next day we did both just perform Oral sex on w each other and no penetration . Which was also only a minute long . So oral hsv2 sounds like a possibility to me 🙁

[Terri Warren]

HSV 2 orally does not seem likely at all here! Not at all.
You have gotten completely swept up here in the herpes fear.
Your eye problems could be either viral or bacterial, but herpes just doesn’t fit here. I know you are so scared but please, try to be focused on the reality of this situation, not what could be a long shot.

Terri

[Soflee91]

I’m crying just cause of fear of my sister and affecting her I don’t even care about me to much . Why doesn’t it fit ? Explain to me 🙁

[Soflee91]

Honestly I have no clue if what in my lip are blisters or not now it looks kinda looks like chapped lips irritation or something right now though earlier it looked different but it is in the same place kinda where this pimple white head appeared on my lip skin . Idk idk idk it’s just to me it all adds up . I should add I hooked up w one other guy the day before this sex act happen that I told u about it t was just oral sex for 1 minute also , I looked at his penis didn’t see anything what so ever . But he told me he was tested idk I didn’t see results so idk . I been doing oral sex and I guess I’ve felt disgusting and guilty for it which is why I’m worried about hsv2 orally .

[Soflee91]

Whatever was on my lip earlier is pretty much gone and healing now , so I didn’t go to the doctor to have it looked it cus it didn’t really look like anything after a few hours . I guess I could kind of deceive it as three little small red patches that feel like dry chapped lip skin when I lick it with my tongues and they are drying out now fading away I think .Idk could my eye problems be related to herpes? It feels viral , I never had a neck lymph node pop out like that – and I had light throat congestion and mucus in my throat w this eye infection that’s still going on . I don’t have blurred vision or photophobia though it’s a little red but I been putting drops so I think that’s why it doesn’t look that red , it’s more watery looking then anything and it’s small I saw a little bit of watery dripage only a little . It’s not really painful either just uncomfortable cus it feels really wet my eye and it feels small .All my symptoms including the symptoms I’ve had in my lips have been all so confusing and weird to me ! Thanks Terri I know I’m probably being a pain .. The thing is before all this sex acts I had I knew my herpes status for both types was negative with igg and western blot . So when all this starts happening I freaked out . I have given oral sex but both incidence have been very brief lasting seconds or a minute but. I did have a make out session. I worry to much I know. I’m going away on vacation for a week tommrow I’m going to try and relax and be away from the internet I could probably show u some pics of how my “white head pimple on my lip looked after I popped it ” I could also show u this ” lip irritation I had today in the same area ”
