Hi again. Yes, the condom was on the entire time. I was somewhat concerned when during the encounter that teeth made contact with the condom, but I didn’t notice any obvious tears or anything after the encounter was finished (went from oral to vaginal penetration). I wish now I had looked closely and examined the condom more. This whole thing is made worse by my OCD (diagnosed), because it’s always looking at things from the possible outcomes, or, with hsv-1 thinking of that 1/10 or so number that may pass through undetected.

The literally only other thing I don’t think I had mentioned here was about something I mentioned to the nurse where I got checked out before. I guess I forgot to mention it earlier. I woke up one night (was very anxious around this period) and felt a weird kind of crawling or similar sensation just below the penis head. I masturbated and then went back to sleep. Never has it reoccurred. And I kept a very close eye on my genitals for the last three months and nothing showed up at that spot. I don’t remember when this was, but it was maybe 2 months ago or more. The nurse there said it could be many things. That was the time I was diagnosed with a yeast infection. So I guess I just kind of forgot to mention it because the nurse kind of dismissed it, and also since I didn’t have any direct contact with this woman without a condom.

My questions are:

1. The blister I noticed on my tonsil, did that sound like a possible hsv-1 related blister?

2. Also, It has now been 11 weeks since the last time she and I had sex. I plan to test at the 12 and 16 week marks to be certain. Do you think it is safe to say if I test negative at 12 weeks, that I will continue to test negative? And if so, can you tell me the approximate percentages?

At this time I notice this is my last question, so in case I don’t have any further issues or questions, I want to thank you for your help. Your expertise has helped me put my situation in perspective. You continue to help us even on the weekends, and I want to say it’s appreciated!
