Aa
risk of Herpes
two weeks back, I had double-condom protected sex with a prostitute. I wore full underwear as well.. there is no much genital-genital skin contact. But I felt some of her vaginal secretions could have touched base of my penis.
I kissed on her chest and cheek just for few seconds. Her face looked very clear with no sores.
Am I at risk for any STD??? especially can I get HERPES ??
There are no symptoms till now. Will the HSV PCR Blood test give accurate results two weeks after exposure??

Best Answer
Yes this is close to a zero risk event for herpes, orally or genitally.
If there was a herpes infection then very likely symptoms emerge within 10 days.
You don't describe symptoms, but a patch of several sores would be required to have an elevated consideration of herpes.

thanks a lot for replies. How common is it for Herpes to transfer from affected person's clear cheek to kisser's mouth?? I read herpes incubation period is 2-12 days. So can I consider myself to have escaped from oral Herpes??
I dont mean this was a risky encounter thiugh but jn the future wearing a single one properly is better this was a no risk act

Herpes spreads by oral, vaginal and anal sex.
Herpes sores blister, then burst, scab and heal.
STIs are the most common cause of genital sores.
Millions of people are diagnosed with STDs in the U.S. each year.
STDs can't be transmitted by casual contact, like hugging or touching.
Syphilis is an STD that is transmitted by oral, genital and anal sex.
A HSV PCR blood test is an incorrect test and will not confirm status, only IgG HSV testing has reliability.
You need to wait 12 weeks for a conclusive test, ideally 16 if you have HSV1 already.
