I had protected sex, intercourse and oral
(condom) with a female sex worker last
tuesday (6 days ago). There were not
lesions or soars present. Prior to the
act I asked her about her health. She
said she gets tested frequently and does
not do anything unsafe. I even asked about
herpes. I immediately after I took the
condom off used antibacterial on my hands
then on my penis and pubic area. I took a
shower and washed thoroughly after getting
back to my hotel room. Anyway, I am
worried sick, for the first two days after
I did not eat very much or get much sleep.
I flew from the west coast to the east
coast on a red eye flight as well and
slept cockeyed in the seat. My back on one
side was soar tender feeling on thur and
still is today. I had a head ache
thursday as well. I had itching in my
pubic area above my penis where my pubic
hair is on one side (same side my back was
hurting) I have not had a fever or flu
like symptoms. I have a wife and kids
under 3 years old, I spent the weekend
shopping with them lifting them repeately
and now my back is soar also on both sides
of my spine and I have dull ache in my
groin in the same place that was itching
before. That area is tingling some as
well, no sign of blisters or anything but
it is in my pubic hair so it is hard to
see.
I am scared to death that I have it.
Could my anxiety be causing my "symptoms"
it has been six days now, I am concerned
by the statements that I am reading
everywhere saying "some do experience
little or no symptoms"
What are my chances of catching this in
the manner that I described?
Thanks

it may not be the herpes, but it could be
something else. Go see a doctor.

What else could it be?
Still no lesions or anything but some
soreness in my back midway down.
