like what percentage of people get herpes because my partner told me she had cold sores after she gave me oral sex and I’m really afraid i might get infected.

Im curious its been a month and a half and i havent gotten any symtpoms
Im curious to know if i have genital herpes as well but the doctor said i would need to have a sore to swab for genital herpes. But I did go to the doctors.

when did you guys get symptoms?

and when did your first outbreak occur from initial contact.

the only symptom ive had was a sore throat. but thats it.

help?>

i haven’t had sex in a while and i developed a bump that looks like a pimple/cyst on my area and i think all it is is an ingrown hair and that i’m probably over reacting but you can’t be too careful. i will say this i haven’t ever had symptoms of having genital herpes and haven’t had an outbreak of bumps down there before so that’s why i think it may just be an ingrown hair.

Let’s say you have multiple partners (I don’t support it). You’re all clean, which had to have been the original situation, but here we are in 2010: AIDS, syphillis, etc. Viruses evolve/change over time, I know, what did STD’s evolve from? Did they come from rouge genital vaginal florae? There are zoophiliacs out there, but even animals started out clean.

Lets say you touch a cold sore then your privates, would that develop into genital herpes? I though that cold sores were caused by a different strain of herpes than genital herpes. So is it true or not?
GAH! Everybody is contradicting everybody else!

I have recently discovered there is sometimes a slight whitish film on the head of my penis.

I have only been active with one (STD-free) person. Are fungal STDs, unlike other STDs, something you can just develop on your own?

In other words if you give oral to someone with an STD, how long would it be before you had a breakout in your mouth? Just wondering.

My sister was just diagnosed with HPV but she said that she didn’t have any warts or bumps. So I was wondering if she will ever develop them.

Can the genital warts just form on their own? I know HPV is an STD, but if i’ve only been with one person and he’s only been with me since we’ve been together for almost 2 years now why is it just developing now?
