I’ve had two herpes scares in my life.
The first one was a rash I developed after I lost my virginity to a girl who actually told me she had herpes prior to sexual contact. She swore up and down that it was not communicable unless she was exhibiting obvious symptoms (lesions, open sores, etc.) Turned out, after a doctor looked at it, that it was just a bunch of pimples. She was wrong, by the way. There are certain symptoms that are benign in nature (urinary tract infection and yeast infection) that can be the herpes virus acting up.
The second scare happened a couple of weeks ago. One of my exes called me and gave me the dreaded “I’ve got herpes and I’m not sure if it was before or after you.” calls. I went in for a blood test and it was negative.
My only advice (actually two) is to go to your doctor *NOW* if you’ve got something on your dick that they can look at and take a culture of. If this heals, they won’t be able to take a culture and you’ll *always* be paranoid if you have it.
My other piece of advice is don’t panic. There’s a lot of people who have herpes and don’t know it. It’s a lot more common than you think.
Oh, and one last thing… the herpes virus is a wimpy virus that only attaches itself to the most ideal of environments, namely mucous membranes. If you never had any contact with her sores with your penis or tongue, you’re probably ok.
Although I could be lying to you so you can calm down enough to go to a doctor.
