Tingling In Mouth, Headache, Burning In Hands And Eyes After Intercourse. Took Valtrex. Is This STD?
I recently had sex with a former boyfriend. I kissed him and now have symptoms such as: tingling in my mouth, headache, constant burning on hands, fatigue, burning eyes, burning mouth, congestion. I have hsv2 and immediately took valtrex after the first tingle, but i still have burning on hands, now fatigue, and cold like symptoms. I realized that the guy had oral sex with someone else. I'm nervous for my 4 year old child who kisses me and holds my hands. It has been a week and my anxiety has heightened. I've made an appointment to be tested for STDS onMonday.

Hi,
I can understand your concern for the possibility of any Sexually transmitted disease or infection in yourself.
Let me first and foremost reassure you that the possibility of any type of Sexually transmitted disease or infection is zero or almost negligible after oral kissing of dry type.
In case of deep wet kissing there are chances but on lesser side. If you or the partner have any cuts or abrasions or bleeding sore then only there is chance of spread of one infection or other.
In your case all of the symptoms are basically related to anxiety and stress. So reduce your anxiety. DO not worry all of your test would be negative.
All the best.
