Am i showing symptoms of herpes?
I had unprotected oral sex with a girl 3 months ago, and then after that again a month ago.About after 2 weeks of the episode i was told by my friend she had herpes. After hearing that i started stressing about anything and everything that happened to me thinking they are somehow or the other related to herpes. Last friday I started thinking and feeling like i have a backache and through this week by back hurts now. I dont know I feel weird. Ive been to 3 different doctors in past week and a half, and i related them my story and they all seem to tell me that I dont have herpes. Im really stressed out, could my backache be a symptom that i have herpes ??She didnt have any open sores when she was blowing me.

- backache is not a symptom of herpes......who knows if she even has herpes, you heard from ur friend, it might just be a rumor........but maybe next time you.ll be a bit more careful......
- you are prob fine. a) she may not even had herpes, rumors are rumors. b) you didn't have intercourse w/ her you recieved oral sex, so unless she also has oral herpes ( there are two kinds) you are fine. b) if you are not breaking out in sores on your genitals you are fine. your backackes are prob due to stress. it's cool to get scared now, hopefully you will get more serious about safe sex. but you are prob in the clear on this one.
- DO NOT STRESS!! And I know its easy to say but if she did not have any open sores you will be fine. The thing is about the mind it plays serious games on you. And back pain is not really a symptom-itching/blisters/flu like symptoms/pain in that region the blister is at. Really I think you are just being paranoid, and your friend is doing the right thing by telling you so you need to respect that she has been open with you. I was in her situation 2years ago with my now fiance. We were 1yr into our relationship and I could not bear to tell him I wanted to but he ended up finding my antiviral meds and he thought they were the pill and he got really upset as we were trying to have a baby, anyway it ended up in a big mess and he ended up leaving for the weekend to think things through...And now we have a beautiful boy who will be 1 next month and we are soon to be married after our next baby... So it is not the end of the world. Plus those antiviral meds help her get less outbreaks and oh yes it has been 3 years and my partner does not have the virus either and we have had unprotected sex since the first time we did it. Happy endings can and do happen just keep an opened mind and remember you can not catch it if she does not have any unbroken sores and do not have skin on skin contact with them as thats how they are transmitted. I hope this has put your mind at ease>>>>
- People like to talk! And people can be cruel!!! Especially the UNeducated ones. If she has genital herpes - you have NO CHANCE of having caught it - if she had a cold sore on her lip - there's a chance... BUT that's unlikely - the symptoms you're feeling are not herpes related. I'm very open about herpes.....all my friends know and I've run into similar situations....read up on herpes & that'll help you relax!
- Herpes do not cause backache. You did not list any other signs, so you are fine. And if you did have herpes, it would be in the genital region and the mouth. The sight of a herpes outbreak is nasty, you would know it right away.
- a backache alone is not a sign that u have herpes u would also have with the first outbreak mild flu like symptoms with fever swollen genital glands and or swollen genital itching, burning and or tingeling sensation in the genitals white raised blisters with a red or yellow ring around them or open sores that look like cuts appear on the genitals. all of these usually occure within 2-30 days after being with some one who has herpes if the doctors say that u don't have them then your lucky, be more careful next time keep condoms on you in case of spontanious sex.
- relax stress can make you ill
