    i talked to someone who has herpes and she said something about oral sex...i think it could be that he gave me herpes from a cold sore im not sure im trying not to think about it a lot right now I've been crying almost an hour.

      Aww I'm sorry you're going through this. It can happen to anyone. It's like the luck of the draw, especially since its almost impossible to avoid oral sex? lol. go to the doctor and get a swab. did he have a cold sore while performing oral?

      I'm not sure i have been trying to text him and the reason we stopped talking was because he never answers the phone. ive been trying to text him and call all day. it really sucks im very young and i hadnt had sex with anyone for 2 months and then i finally got back with the same guy and he has confirmed he wasnt sleeping with anyone else. its very upsetting and difficult to deal with i truly believe i have herpes and idk what to tell my mom im very scared.

      You're going to be ok either way sweety. I'm sure your mother will be understanding. Either way it's just a skin infection and many people have it. It wont affect your life in any way and you will find someone that loves you and that wont be an issue to them. Forget about the guy and just worry about yourself. If it is type 1 from oral sex its even less infectious than having a cold sore on your mouth and you might never experience an outbreak from the initial one. Feel free to message me if you need to talk to someone!

    it could be herpes. you need to get them swabbed while they are still there as this is the most reliable form of diagnosis.

    alot of people could have the hsv virus orally or gential and never know they have it. the virus sheds and this is how it is passed.

    go get it looked at by a doctor and see what they think.
