[Question #10662] HSV2 from Oral Sex
21 months ago
|
I am a 33-year-old male and I'm having
a very hard time right now, well the past few months in worry and wrapping my
head around oral sex encounter I had with a girl was dating back in July. I had
been seeing her for about a month before we were intimate 8/5 and haven’t been
with her or anyone since. Protected intercourse, and unprotected oral sex for
no more than a few mins. Week later while peeing I looked down and saw a small
white painless patch flaky like dry skin (no pain, itching or anything wouldn’t
have noticed it if I wasn’t trying to not miss the toilet bowl) lasted about 3
weeks didn't grow or change in appearance.
I was anxious from that moment, jumped on google, and went down a rabbit hole. Landed
on syphilis. Seen providers (5) and have got tested
multiple times everything came back negative. Not sure how I landed on herpes but
can’t shake it. I think because I couldn’t associate it to anything else I
started questioning what could it be? I’ve already had HSV 1 for over 10 years
or so. Patch started to go away after the NP at an urgent care gave me some anti-bacterial/biotic ointment. she kept asking about soaps and
detergents I’m using.

I really went down a path of
then thinking I had eye herpes because of something I saw in the white part of
eyes (got my eyes check and have perfect vision), also felt like I had burning/
warm sensations down there only when sitting (no outbreaks or anything). I ended up going to my doctor and getting
another round of std testing and antibiotics (because he was thinking it could
be prostate) and HSV IGG testing at 11 weeks and HSV 1 came back 40.00 and
negative for HSV2. All other testing came back negative. My doctor keeps
reassuring me it’s not HSV 2.
What are your thoughts about
this?

1. Would you say that there was even a risk for it? I’m not clear as to how there wasn’t.
