Like i mentioned, i would not be concerned that your having a herpes outbreak. When an obvious sore appears it tends to open and spread the virus to the immediate surrounding area like a cluster.
On a side note, if this is a herpes outbreak from a recent infection, it would be from him giving it to you from oral sex if he has hsv1 oral as many people do.
But if he did not have any lip sores at the time the risk would be very low that he infected you as shedding of oral hsv1 is not that often.
Yes, I have recently started a sexual relationship with a new guy but we haven't had sex yet. Only oral and touching but I'm scared I'm going to give herpes to him if I do have it or if I tell him I came into contact with someone who did then he will run a mile. It's so sad, I really like this guy :( I'm thinking of going to get a blood test done ASAP.
Hi, with the symptoms your mentioning it would infer a recent infection with the cold symptoms but the tingling is more for those who already have hsv and is a sign of a pending outbreak. So having symptoms of a new infection and an old infection i would rule them out as herpes related but only testing would confirm this.
With the recent infection symptom (the cold and body aches) have you had any recent sexual exposure?
