herpes from oral sex?
Question: my g/f had a small cold sore on the corner of her lip at the bottom....it didnt look to bad and it had only been there for a few days....she preformed oral sex on me and i am very afraid that she might have gave me herpes! i have never been so worried in my entire life! this would ruin me! how much of a chance do i have of getting it from her if the cold sore had only been there for a few days? Answer: If she had a cold sore on her lip, why would you let her perform oral sex on you? Answer: I am in the exact same situation as you, the difference is that I'm the girl. It happened 18 days ago and not really anything has shown up on either one of us yet. I went to the doctor and they told me not to worry and say that this kind of things act very fast, usually with in 1 week or 2 there would be symptoms, and the symptoms would really be painful for the first time, so you can't miss it. I would try not to think about it for now and wait to see if anything happens then do a blood test about 1 month after, but then again, I'm not a doctor, I guess the best way is to consult a doctor. best of luck to you Answer: my g/f had a small cold sore on the corner of her lip at the bottom....it didnt look to bad and it had only been there for a few days....she preformed oral sex on me and i am very afraid that she might have gave me herpes! Well.. coldsores are herpes, so that was a risky behavior... i have never been so worried in my entire life! this would ruin me! how much of a chance do i have of getting it from her if the cold sore had only been there for a few days? Well, just cause she had a cold sore does not mean for sure that you got it. Its not enough just to get it on your skin, it has to get 'past' your skin into your body. Remember, your skin is part of your immune system. If you haven't had any visible signs or symptoms yet, you probably got lucky and didn't get it. I went to the doctor and they told me not to worry and say that this kind of things act very fast, usually with in 1 week or 2 there would be symptoms, and the symptoms would really be painful for the first time, so you can't miss it. Yes, I agree with this... YEAH, everyone is going to point out the scientific evidence to suggest that it can be dormant for years blah blah blah... BUT most of the time, if you are infected, you get an outbreak within 2 days to 14 days. So if you guys haven't noticed anything you are probably ok. this would ruin me Lastly... If getting an STD would 'ruin' you, then you should REALLY think twice about keeping your pants on. I mean it seems like in this case, you dodged a bullet... But there is NO such thing as safe sex... So until you are in a situation where you are with a person you want to be with for as long as you can think of... or something like that... you should take this opportunity/scare to re-evaluate if you want to be having sex or not. (I'm not saying you should or shouldn't) but even if you are with another girl, and she doesn't have a cold sore or anything... YOU ARE STILL AT RISK. Copyright © 2007 - 2008 www.thanktoday.com
