I had my first coldsore, but was in denial about it because it wasn't very characteristic of herpes. after it turned into a scab and flaked off i had sex with someone who kissed me then gave me oral sex.

A few weeks later he got a Zit on his shaft and didn't go to the doctor about it, but it has made me feel worried i could have contracted herpes and am asymptomatic?

TL;DR, Turns out i also had a yeast infection at the time, and chlamydia. For men yeast infections can cause papules on their penis. what are some symptoms of genital herpes without ulcers or blisters? I'm worried that he may have contracted it and i just don't show symptoms but here in Canada doctors wont test me unless i have an outbreak.

It's making me want to abstain from sex forever for fear of giving it to someone even though i dont even know if i have it. could he have gotten it and i didnt? Please share your thoughts!

    The best thing to do is go have a blood test. Make sure its the IGg blood test. it gives the most accurate results.

      But that would just tell me if i have HSV1 or 2, not whether it is oral or genital right?

      well that's incorrect you can have either strain in either place. so you cant rule it out just because its HSV1

    so your thinking he had herpes (genital) and gave it to you? tell the doctors about your cold sore and that should be considered an outbreak no?
