kissing

Hello

So i went to a massage place, its not full service. Just a really nice massage and a handjob if youd like.

The girl that was giving me my massage was really into me and we kissed alot of times.

I tried french kissing her once but she wouldnt, she pulled back.

My lips are chapped and were dry at the time.

What the are the chances of herpes?  need some clarification cause im worried and im only 23.

Its all speculation, she could be clean for all I know and maybe im just worrying for no reason.

this happened last night. today i woke up theres like a a small pimple on the bottom of my lip? does herpes grow that fast?..

thank you!

Hi, herpes sore dont break out the next day but takes at least 3 or so minimum. The risk from kissing is more for young children whose immune systems are not yet strong but with a adults its really not an issue and if she did not have any lip sore at the time the risk would be quite low as shedding of the virus does not occur that often.
I would not be concerned at all about this but if your sexually active, getting a herpes test would be something to consider esp if  you have hsv1 oral as it can be transmitted to the genital area of a loved one.

Oral herpes is not that big of a deal esp if one never has outbreaks

contined...remember that you dont have breakouts in 2 days. Once the virus enters the nerve it site there and mulitplies then travels to the spine then back up and does take time.

3 months post exposure but dont be overly concerned as you may already have it as many people contracted it from childhood. If she did not have any lip sore the risk is really low but testing is always a good idea for future partners.
