No, it doesn't sound like herpes at all, and it does sound a lot like an inflamed hair follicle.

should i be concerned about herpes from a semi brief unprotected oral sex encounter..ive been trying 2 not really think about it until test and been doing a good job keeping my composure. i just been hesistant to ask any questions again seeing how many post you guys been responding to. i still havent had any visible symptoms.neither has she. thank you

No. I see no reason to be concerned at all.

Are you going to be able to handle being in a relationship with someone who has hsv1?

yeah i think i can but its the fact i dont know that gets to me. she hasnt performed oral on anyone or sex but still isnt hsv1 always transmitted through kissing.

No, not always. It is contagious, but its not always transmitted. She isn't contagious all the time - maybe 20% of the time.

thank you for all the help my last question is why you suggest i shouldnt worry was it because my risk over all was low risk. was it that her risk which was kissing was low risk . or just for the fact that hsv1 is so common that i shouldnt worry about it . seriously though thank you for all the answers. i will post again when i find out everything i need to know.

I think all of those reasons work. :)

i just dont know what to do now . shouldnt i be concerned if i have herpes now . although it wasnt high risk the risk was still there even b4 the oral sex with just kissing we kissed more then actual oral sex. do you think i do have herpes now ? thanks aj for the answers. i know it wouldnt be the end of the world but not knowing sometimes bothers me

I don't think, and haven't ever thought, that you have herpes now. I don't know if you will be able to handle a relationship with her though. I think you will always be wondering and worrying.

im posting relating to a rash behind my ear. i am not sure if it is a rash exactly possibly is. it dosent itch really at all or have any type of pain . i wanted to know if it was std related. i dont think it was but i read herpes shingles cause outbreaks on different parts of the body but its very painfull and these tiny bumps behind my ear arent painfull at all..
