Hello
I know i am positive through blood test for HSV1.
A few weeks ago i had sexual relations with someone i have been seeing on and off for 6 months. We had no genital intercourse. She gave me oral for a few seconds. And i was fingering her for a few minutes. I gave her massage after that, and did not wash my hands before the massage.
I had a cut that was starting to heal on my hand, the hand i was using. And I had some blisters on my leg that i may have touched with that hand.
I wanted to know if i was at risk for exposure for any STD including HSV2. A few days after this encounter i started having no appetite and had hoarse voice and my mouth started to hurt . I had some blisters form on my leg and hand that went down and are now red.
Every few hours I feel burning sensations on my arm and leg.Thanks for your help

If you are already positive for HSV 1 then the risk of acquiring HSV 1 genitally is incredibly low. I am not worried about the hand contact. And it seems to me that you had the blisters on our leg prior to the contact, as you indicated, is that correct? I do not see any risk factors for HSV 2. Herpes does not cause lack of appetite, hoarse voice or mouth pain or burning in the arm.

There is no way to know for certain if the change in these already-present lesions are due to herpes or not. I think it is unlikely that the are now herpes lesions but the only way to know for certain is to have them swab tested. I hope that you will have these swab tested right away (which you may have already done) or if they come up again, have them swab tested then.
