I am a 23 year old male and I had sex with a girl I have known for a while a week ago today. We used a condom. The next day after I had left she called me in tears telling me that she has Herpes. She was afraid to tell me... she assured me that I was in the clear since we used protection and she was not having an outbreak.
Last night I started getting a bit of a sore throat and today I woke up with what feels like tonsillitis... I feel slightly light headed, sore throat when I swallow, coughing up yellowish coloured flem...
We did not have oral sex at all, and I have not seen any other symptoms other than those listed above... I went to the doctor to get tested yesterday but they told me I was wasting my time checking for herpes since I would test positive because I get cold sores... all of the search results on google are really freaking me out and I don't think there is much else I can do... if anyone has any information for me or advice I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you!
