Aa
are these herpes symptoms
Hi, after reading all others stories and trying to find a similar case, I decided to post my case. I had an intercourse with SW on Jan. 7th 2016. She gave me unprotected oral sex and then protected virginal sex. tested for gono and chlamydia after 7days and both negative. Tested neg for HIV prc RNA test at 25 days and neg for syphilis rpr test at 4th week.
During the 1 month, there was no symptoms but on 6th week and had an abrasion feeling on the right inner thigh 1 day for 3-4 hours. Then, 1 small bump appeared on the shaft. tried to pop it but it didn't pop and there didn't seem to be liquid in it. 2days ago (45days after the exposure), saw another 2 very tiny pimples right under the glans. They do not seem to contain liquid but there is a little red. Today, these two pimples subsided a little but I had sneezed many times today and a little bit running nose. For the 1st bump and 2 other pimples, they are neither painful or itchy and none of them is popped, thought tried to pop them with my finger.
I know it is (7th week) a bit too early to test for Igg now. But would appreciate it if any one can help me evaluate my risk and if those look like herps 2 symptoms. I probably have herps 1 cause I remember having cold sores twice in my childhood. I am more concerned about herpes 2.
And how long should I wait to blood test for herpes2 and a conclusive test with WB.
Thank you!

Thank you very much! That's very informative. I did not see cold sore on her lips. Could sore be in her mouth. If that's the case then it is genital hsv1. So, there is 1/1000 transmission rate.
In fact most do show symptoms but they dont associated them with herpes as could be like a small cut. I say close to zero because she had no lip sores and you used a condom and you fall into a low risk group. Most at risk are in long term mono relationships where one partner is infected and even at that its 1 of a 1000 acts that it is transmitted.
Thank you so much! Just curious, the reason you said close to zero risk was because The condom or because I have not shown classic symptoms? It seems that most people do not show any symptoms, that why most ppl do not know they have herpes2.
How about the unprotected oral? After reading posts online, I found that transmission of hsv2 by oral is less likely Because hsv2 does not go to mouth area? So, technically hsv2 transmission by oral is very unlikely? Thank you very much!

Thank you Life360_Dave! I will do a blood test at 8th week. Do I need a WB test to confirm?
Hi, the odds you contracted herpes from your affair is close to zero and not of what you mention suggests herpes. You can have a blood test at 8 weeks as a good indicator.
Forgot to mention I am male and received unprotected oral sex.
Just saw another post where he had blisters 4 MONTHs after the exposure. Could herpes really appear after that long? Not saying he has herpes, but don't know how long does it take to show up after initial contact, if it does show up. I know some people could have no symptoms but still have herpes 2
