Hi Terri, thank you.
To recap, the two oral sex occurances happened in mid August and early September. No cold sores or symptoms other than that rash that you said you believed was irrelated that started at the end of September and lasted well through October. After I told you about very small bump that popped up around 12/23 as well as that swollen neck lymph node (4 to 5 months after oral episodes), do you have a different opinion about the rash being connected? Do you think that was the primary outbreak? Or do you feel like the primary outbreak would be a more obvious presentation? Is it more possible that it could have just been a cold sore linked to having just had a cold? It resolved itself pretty quickly.
