1.  Condom protected sex is 66. It is a virtually no risk as long as the condom is Warren throughout the encounter it does not break.

2.  Cunnilingus is a very, very low risk event but not no risk. There are a few occasions in which persons have acquired gonorrhea and chlamydia from performing oral sex on an infected partner. The risk associated with such exposures is so low that it is difficult to calculate the risk numerically however. I am unaware of any instances in which a person has acquired HIV from performing cunnilingus on an infected partner.

3.  Receipt of oral sex from an infected partner with oral gonorrhea (uncommon) is occasionally associated with acquisition of gonorrhea or very, very rarely chlamydia. following the acquisition of gonorrhea over 90% of people become symptomatic within 3 to 5 days.  The other STI which may be acquired from receipt of oral sex is non-chlamydial NGU which arises from introduction of a partner’s oral bacteria into the penis. Nonchlamydial NGU presents as mild discomfort upon urination or rarely discharge. Non-chlamydial NGU May go away by or is easily results with doxycycline. Non-chlamydial NGU does not pose a threat to sexual partners health if exposed.

Thank you for your reply.

Regarding the comments on my partners recovering cold sores, does the fact that the sores have scabbed and she is recovering from the outbreak mitigate the chances of transmission? Would viral load present on her lip decrease under such circumstances? 

I couldn’t help looking at some sites which say that hsv-1 can be easily transmitted via oral sex even when no blisters are present. 

As such I would be grateful for some further insight/advice on my situation where i exposed myself to someone with recovering blisters. The flaky skin was attached to the lip and looked like a crater as the middle of the skin patch was lower (more attached to the lip) whereas the sides or edges were peeling off. There were three spots like this on her lip. Would you also rule out syphillis?

Separately, grateful for your risk assessment on the frottage event as well mentioned in my initial post which may have included partial/very little/shallow accidental penetration. Please see my initial post for description. 

Many thanks!

Regarding testing, do you recommend that i test for herpes and if so when should i do the test? Also do you think i should test for syphilis? You hadnt recommend a herpes test initially and i was wondering if that had to do with the fact that my partner was recovering from the outbreak. I guess im most concerned with this point as i exposed myself to a real risk of catching herpes/syphilis (ie receiving oral sex from someone with sores present).  

Also, When should i go get tested for gonorrhea and chlamydia?

It appears that you are searching the Internet for information.  Please don’t.  Much of what is there is incorrect ( out of date, taken out of context, or just plain wrong) and there is no way to tell that.  Only a small proportion of direct exposures to cold sores result in transmission.

The lesions you describe sounds nothing like syphilis.

My advice here is that your risk for herpes is quite low. FYI, if you had acquired herpes you would expect to develop lesions at sites of exposure within 10 days of your exposure. Please don’t worry.  EWH 

Thanks for your reply. 

Am I correct to believe that your advice is to  Wait for 10 days and if no sores develop then I should not test for herpes as it’s unlikely that I got it? Or should I still get tested for herpes after 10 days regardless?

For the urine test when can I get tested?

Finally grateful for your thoughts and risk assessment in the frottage event in my original post and follow up post from a couple of hours ago. Pasted below from my original post for your reference :

“  I then engaged in 1-2 minutes of frottage where i rubbed my bare penis on her clitoris and labia. There was a lot of vaginal secretion. On one of the thrusts, the bottom half of my penis head hit something hard like a bone so I think I may have penetrated her slightly but I could still see the top half of the head of my penis. ”

Many thanks

A urine test for Gonorrhea and chlamydia can be done any time more than 3 days after your encounter.

No need for additional concern or testing related to the encounter you describe.

This completes this thread.  Please don’t worry.  EWH
