If the guy didn't have any sores on their penis or mouth then you didn't get it from them. Most people have the oral herpes virus- it's what cold sores are. They're not a big deal except you don't want to kiss or give oral sex to someone when you have one. Oral and genital herpes are very closely related and you can give someone genital herpes if you guve oral sex with a cold sore. You can also get oral herpes from genital herpes. But if there were no sores that you saw then it's highly unlikely you got herpes from them since herpes is only transferred through those sores- a person with herpes can have sex with someone when they're not having a breakout and will not transfer the disease. I've been getting cold sores since I was a child- long before my first kiss. Oral herpes is very common and is something that the majority of people have. It's no big deal as long as you just take percautions not to spread it.
I think I might have mouth herpes? Help??
I lost my virginity this past Saturday and gave him head. I had sex with another guy this Thursday and gave him head too. Yesterday, a small lump appeared on my bottom lip line and I figured it was just another lip pimple. But since I had given head to two guys, I took into account that it could be mouth herpes. The area isn't pimple-like anymore and is starting to look like a blister. It's swollen and red bc I've been messing with it all night putting hydrogen peroxide and ice on it in the chance that it is oral herpes. I went online to look up how long oral herpes would take to show if you contracted it from giving someone head and I received no answers. I frantically asked my friends and they didnt know either. One of my more experienced friends with sex told me if it was herpes, I would've seen it on the guy's penis and lip. I didn't see anything on either guy so I said maybe one of them has it but it just didn't show? Like, the virus could've been in his bloodstream/bodily fluids and that could've transferred to me when he cummed in my mouth. (I have cuts in my mouth from braces so that theory of the transfer doesn't seem too unrealistic for me.)
My main question is, how long does it take for oral herpes to show if you contracted it from giving oral and is it even possible to get mouth herpes from someone even if you didn't physically see anything on their penis/mouth?

And then the virus would still have to get through our defences in your digestive tract. It's unlikely. I'm pretty sure it's only transmitted through blood during an outbreak
Sa
I don't think so. I'm not 100% sure but I'm pretty sure herpes lives in the cells dormant. I don't think it gets into the sperm- most viruses can't cross the blood-testis barrier.

Also, do you know if it's possible I got herpes from swallowing. Like, assuming he has herpes and wasn't experiencing an outbreak, that I could've caught something by swallowing his cum? We didn't use condoms for oral.
Its possible and id get tested hopefully you used condoms and your vag doesn't get involved but definitely get tested then tell the guy he needs to get tested-well in this case youd have to tell both because you dont know which it came from...Theres also a chance that you already had it in your system and this is a coincidence but either way get tested
Ja
You can transmit them that way but again cold sores (oral herpes) couldve already been something you have! And theyre no biggie- contagious and annoying- but not too bad
Mo
No. Neither of them used a condom for oral :((
Ja
Did he use the condom for oral? If you got it from the first guy the second guy should get tested too as it couldve been exposed to him too
