Thank you for answering that question (and all the others) for me. I have renewed the subscription and did have another question or two for you, please.
I did not notice any cold sore on the mouth of that woman while we were together, and we kissed often. But I remember now, about a week or two after she went home, I noticed I had a white blister right on my tonsil. It made is a bit sore to swallow. My throat had hurt for maybe a day or two before I looked at my throat and poked around back there after seeing this white blister thing. It was maybe half the size of a pea. It apparently popped and the throat soreness disappeared immediately. I don’t think I had a fever at that time. I looked online and the blister looking thing looked exactly like a tonsil cyst. I am thinking that is what it was. I just wanted your input on that, because if you suspect it might have been hsv-1, I had concerns about possible accidental auto-inoculation. Also, I don’t know if it would matter or not but I know she has hsv-1 orally, because she said she did, and she actually had a cold sore about a week or two after the last time we had any physical contact I think. I don’t know if viral shedding or whatever precedes oral hsv-1 or not.
One other small question. This was in late December. I have not had any physical activity with anyone since then. I did read somewhere that hsv-1 can be spread through breath, is that correct? I remembered that this woman did actually blow on my irritated genital area (after I’d shaved down there and it got irritated) to try to make me feel more comfortable. I don’t mean to be crude by saying that. She’s a very sweet person and only meant well. I just didn’t know what the possibility was for hsv-1 transmission via breath around my genitals. I did wear a condom for the only oral exposure she performed physically, but didn’t even think about this possible transmission through breath until recently. Is this a valid concern?
Anyway, thank you, as always for your time.
