my names bob asked:


its been a month since I had my first sexually encounter (I wore a condom during sex and oral sex) I wasnt protected when I went down on her but she told me too (I was really drunk otherwise I would not have done this) I’ve read that the first outbreak occurs usually after 2 weeks and I know it maybe month or even years before I do if I have the virus but how much does this lower my chances by and also wearing the condom? rate out of 0% – 100% (100% most certain)
I’d only known the girl for a few hours and she was 21 years old and I was 17 years old

    Has your partner had outbreaks of HSV2? if she has then you have obviously exposed yourself. If not then what are you freaking out about?You said you used a condom ? if that’s the case then hopefully you were protected against genital HSV which is usually worse than oral HSV. Oral HSV shows up as a sore on the lips otherwise known as a cold sore while Genital HSV shows up as painful blisters. Some peoples immune system can cause the virus to never manifest or to manifest as something minor that you many never even notice. Wearing a condom does reduce your chances of contracting diseases but you should know its best to have potential sexual partners and yourself tested before sex occurs this levels the playing field by letting you know whats going on or who may or may not have what. asking the person can help but not everyone is honest about their history. Relax and learn from your experience and good luck.

    The initial break out usually occurs with in 30 days of being exposed to herpes. You should also know that it’s very rare to pass herpes form the genitals to the mouth, that is even less likely to happen when there isn’t a break out.
    If there wasn’t any signs of a break out and you used a condom during intercourse then you don’t have a very big chance of getting it. Shedding of genital herpes usually happens about 10-15 percent of days out of the year so you maybe have 0-5 percent chance of getting it.
    By the way I have seen a question similar to this one before. If you really want to know if you have it you should see a doctor and get tested in about 4-6 weeks even if you don’t get a break out.
