I had sexual activity and now an ulcer in eye....

Hi, i had a drunken fumble with a guy on a hen weekend in Spain. All in all, he ejaculated on the gusset of my knickers and i am so worried that he may have passed something on to me. I am in a very happy marriage and can't believe i have been so stupid. Health wise, I feel fine but was very run down after the weekend away and have suffered with mouth ulcers and thrush since getting back 3 weeks ago.
I now have an ulcer in my eye and am terrified that it is herpes. Can anyone offer any help?

a cold is not a sign of a std :)

By the way, i don't recall any skin to skin contact but was obviously not of sane mind so can't be 100% sure.

Again, hanging my head in shame :-(

Thank-you, you have been so helpful. Tried to see doctor today but can't get an appointment until Friday.

My husband has come down with a cold now and i am terrified it is a sign, why am i such an idiot :-(

If there was skin to skin contact i assume the risk would be much higher? 'It' was almost 4 weeks ago now so if it was herpes would i have experienced a sore yet? The only symptoms are that i have an eye ulcer and my hubby has a cold... The rationalist in me say's get a grip - the guilty side of me tells me that i don't deserve to get away without some consequence.

Honestly, i have never been so ashamed of myself in my whole life and plan to never be again.

this was incredibly low risk for herpes. no reason for any testing. no reason to think you contracted herpes either really.

if you have a vaginal itch, be seen and get properly tested for yeast and bacterial infections.

Thanks for your help,

No, we didn't have sex but as i say he ejaculated on my gusset so i guess there could be contact there. I have seen the optician and they have confirmed that it is a Corneal Ulcer and they say they are very common in contact lens wearers, especially if run down.

I am still worried but i have no pain my genitals, if i was to pass herpes from my genitals to my eye would i not have to have a sore first?

I have felt slightly itchy around the entrance to my vagina but i put this down to Thrush, could herpes start by feelin itchy but not painful?

What tests would be done for herpes? I am so scared.

so you didn't have sex or did you?

you need to be seen today for your eye issues. They aren't something to put off. they can easily test you for herpes infections in the eye.

From what I have read. Herpes can be in and around the eye from touching the herpes with your hand and then rubbing your eye.
