Very concerned
Hi Doc
I am at my wits end. I need some clarification I am a male hetro
14 days ago I had brief unprotected oral and protected anal with a CSW. I did not *** at any stage. I proceeded to take off the condom and after a few minutes I received a handjob. I am sure e condom was intact and my penis head covered at all times. I believe I have had cold sores on my lip a number of times growing up.
After 3- 5 days slight increase in temperature and feeling of malaise . No other symptoms re burning, drip etc. had sex with my partner after about 6 days after the incidence. She then proceeded to get a sore throat after 3-5 days.
After 14 days ( yesterday) I had urine test which was clear.
My partner then says she has a sore groin around the gland area on one side. She then asks me to "have a look if she has a pimple"
I did examine her and there was no visible spot or ulcer. However she was very tender in one spot?
I checked again this morning and certainly no blister, ulcer etc. but she is still tender. She now beliefs it is likely to be a gland issue associated with her cold?
1. Could she have had an initial outbreak of one spot and then had a 24 hour turnaround?
2. Wouldn't I still see some aftermath?
3. Is this all typical of early stage Herpes flare up?
Please could you give me some guidance

Re-read the last sentence of my last reply. Don't post anything else until you have the test result.
I hope you are right doc. Just rang for my results and all back except HIV
I am melting down here

I'm sure nobody in the world ever had conjunctivitis or dry eye syndrome as the main symptoms of ARS. There is absolutely nothing in your sexual exposure, or how the condom was removed, that carries any risk of HIV. Even without a condom, HIV almost never is acquired by receiving oral sex. From a medical standpoint, there's really not even a reason to be tested for HIV -- but I understand your need to do it for reassurance purposes. It will be negative, assuming you are not at risk in ways other than the exposure described above.
Ok I have calmed down now. I made the fatal error of looking at the net. The facts are I have never had dry eyes before and it is has been during the seroconversion period? Mammal other symtoms a bit of a crocky throat but no fever or rash. The only thing I am worried about is that I talk the condom of by pulling it of from near he top and fluid might have Ben scraped over my penis head.
I did have a duo test today and waiting for results Wednesday.
1. How common is dry eyes as a ars symptom
2. Wold the way I took the condomof impacts HIV likelihood

Welcome to the forum. I'll try to help.
You describe a very safe sexual exposure: oral sex is low risk for STDs, condoms work, and hand-genital contact also is pretty much risk free. Your symptoms a few days later are nonspecific -- i.e. they do not point to any particular medical problem and certainly not to any STD. It sounds to me like you and your regular partner may be sharing a common cold, but probably nothing related to your recent CSW exposure.
As for your partner's genital symptoms, they also are not typical for any STD, including herpes. You never mention genital herpes but that seems to be what you are most concerned about. In any case, herpes certainly would never cause a tender spot with nothing visible, and no HSV infection or outbreak can clear up in 24 hours; 10 days is the minimum.
If your partner's genital area symptoms continue, and obviously if she develops other symptoms -- e.g., overt blisters, sores, etc -- then of course she will need to be professionally examine. But based on all the information you have provided, I am confident you acquired no STD, have transmitted neither HSV nor any other STD to your regular partner, and that she has nothing serious -- and for sure no infection related to your recent CSW exposure.
