Oral Exposure

[arukl]

Hi, I have had three encounters of unprotected oral sex with a woman of unknown status and no visual symptoms.  The last episode was 4 weeks before I tested and results were negative.  I have had some red rashes on my penis head which l often get anyway even before these three encounters.  Meanwhile I have had unprotected sex with my wife. She had some lesions in her vagina which her doctor treated for symptomatically with Aclyovir.

My questions are:

1. Am I at risk of having contracted Herpes II.
2. Is my negative result for Herpes I and II four weeks after last exposure (10 weeks since first exposure) conclusive?
3. Do need to get re-tested?

Many thanks.

I am with Grace on this one entirely.

Pacha - this sounds nothing like Syphillis - so please don't alarm someone in this way.

HSV is a more likely culprit in terms of transmission, but there is an unsufficient amount of detail here to give any serious advice.

The only peice of advice I can give you is that you and your wife should go to your local GUM clinic or doctor and have some routine testing.  This is the only way to know for sure.

Hope this helps

this does not sound at all like syphilis.

what testing has your wife had done so far?

you can contract hsv1 from receiving oral sex but the risk of such is low. you haven't described anything that sounds like genital hsv1 going on.
