Question: A couple of weeks ago I engaged in protected sex using a condom but kissed and had unprotected oral sex on me and on her. It was a one night travel fling and I knew very little about the other person but the thought of herpes was far from my mind. Four days after the encounter I experienced a tingle on my lips and noticed a cluster of very small dots. I immediately started using an anti-viral topical oinment (aciclovir) and the next day Famciclovir tablets. The dots didn't turn into blisters or crust up, as I have seen in images, and have almost cleared completely 12 days after the possible exposure. I have been absolutely terrified that I may have also contracted genital herpes but almost two weeks after the encounter I have no symptoms - rash, sores, fever or other. I seem to recall having had oral herpes (cold sores) maybe 30+ years ago as a child but never again. If the partner in this encounter had oral herpes (none visible) would I have also contracted genital herpes through oral sex and would symptoms have developed by now?

It's now day 13 and I have been looking down every hour in paranoia. I noticed a single tiny pimple on the left side of my scrotum in the fold area and completly freaked out. I suspect (hope) it is an ingrown hair but given my heightened state of alert it has me wondering. It is a single pimple which hasn't changed in appearence for 24 hours, if anything it has subsided this this morning, and seems to feel hard like an ingrown hair. I do shave and the area and it is going through a prickly stage. There are definately no clusters anywhere. Any comments or opinions would be appreciated. Have I been lucky or is it still too early?
