Putting fingers in vagina and then putting finger in mouth.
Hi. 2 days ago i met this women that ive met in the past when we have french kissed. 2 days ago we we're kissing and i put my finger in her vagina then followed by putting it in my mouth. Today i have woken up with a cut on my tongue (really similar to if i have bit my tongue in the night) and im worried that ive got oral herpes. (I was ill with a cough 1 week before meeting her and do still feel abit illish) my main concern is the cut on my tongue. Have i just bit my tongue in the night or have i now got herpes? I dont have any other sores on my lips or anything only a cut on my tongue. Also i asked her if she has any std or herpes and she strongly told me no. Thanks

Pretty much herpes sores are prodrome (warning signs, like tinging, if you get them), then blisters.
Prodrome can last up to 2 days. Prodrome, if you get it, is always followed by an outbreak. If you get tingling or something that lasts for days, with no outbreak, that's something else and not prodrome, or herpes.
Why don't you just go to an urgent care or walk in clinic or whatever it's called where you live, and get this looked at? You aren't going to rest easy until you do. If they think it's herpes, ask them to do a type specific culture or PCR swab (if they can do a PCR swab, that's the better option). Insist on that. Don't let them visually diagnose you with herpes - it's wrong a lot of the time.
Don't wait - the sooner you can go, the better. It's not worthy of a trip to the hospital, but if you can get to an urgent care today, or tomorrow, do that.

Okay thanks.
So be honest the info you have given me paired with comparing the cut against pictures of blisters and sore im sure its just a cut and ive bit my tongue in my sleep or had dry mouth and its stuck against my tooth and rips the tissue.
I didnt have any prodrome it just appeared this morning out of the blue. Im just going to monitor the healing process and if its gone in two days or so then its just a cut. But ill keep active on here and keep you updated if thats okay and if anything further happens (what you mentioned in your reponse and previous comments) ill go to the doctors.
Just want to say a massive thank you, words can express how much i appreciate your help and kind words. Im thankful for you and this website. Means the world to me that these people to help. Thanks and take care.

I totally agree with your assessment - if it looks like you cut it with your teeth, that's probably what you did. And don't underestimate that - those bites can hurt.
The mouth heals quickly, so if you just bit it, you should see a marked improvement soon. If it's not better in a couple of days, see your doctor.
The timing of it sucks for anxiety, but it's really just probably coincidence.
Yes, keep me updated, and I hope it feels better soon. :)

Update - woke up this morning and my tongue doesnt hurt anymore. The cut has turned into a raised bump and it seems like its made of new skin where its healed over night. (The skin looks white in colour) Hopefully it will be gone in a day or two.
Ive had no other sores appear since the last post i made.

If the cut on your tongue is really similar to biting your tongue, that's probably what it is.
In theory, you can transmit herpes by fingers like you suggest, but it's just really an inefficient way to do so - it's exposed to air and such, and the mouth doesn't like hsv2, and hsv2 orally is rare. It's not something I'd worry about.
I would be concerned that you have transmitted your cough to her. Maybe don't have sexual activity while you're sick. :) If your cough lingers for more than a few more days, see your doctor for it. Feel better!

Thanks for your respond i appricate it alot. Its just seems strange that 2days later i got this on my tongue, i need to stop using google to try and explain my problems haha.
Also it wasnt planned i stated to her i was ill a week before but things just happened haha.
Ill keep an eye on my tongue if its healed by the morning ill know its just a cut.
Thanks for you help, take care

Also if there is a rare chance i have it, is there anything i should keep an eye our for orally?
Oh please, stop using Google.
Getting a herpes sore on your tongue is unusual, especially if it's the only sore. If you are concerned, you could always get a doctor to look at it, and do a PCR swab (best option) or culture on it.
If it is oral herpes, look for other sores - usually blisters - in or around your mouth. I'd be very surprised if that's what this is.

I just think its strange as its come on in 2 days. My tonge is swollen on the cut side now as this morning it was a cut and there was skin visible around, almost like a flap of skin on my tongue from where my tooth has cut into it.
From other pictures or herpes sores on the tongue they looks more like blister, whereas this i have doesnt really look like a blister more like a cut.
One more question if you dont mind. When a tongue sore does appear is progressive or does it go from a clear patch on the tongue to a full blown sore overnight? Like 0-100 in 9hours?
Thanks again
