Question : I had like a small bump on my vagina and just been putting tree tea oil on it. I just recently had unprotected sex and I fear I might have given him something like herpes. I haven't been tested for any std's but less than 30 days I had taken a pap smear and everything came back normal and I was negative for hpv. We had sex thursday and friday and now I haven't heard from him at all which is really freaking me out. If I gave him an std, like herpes will he have symptoms already or any std for that matter
Brief Answer:
Too early for any symptoms at this time!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for this query.
It is pretty early for symptoms to have developed. Also, you have been tested and cleared of any possible STDs and as such there is no reason to be worried. I will not want to think that this is the reason why he hasn't gotten back to you. I will suggest you give him a call and hear what is going on with him. That way, you will stop being worried.
I hope this helps. I wish you well.

Brief Answer:
You have no symptoms and no symptoms to suspect any now!
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Am not exactly sure why you think you might have infected him. The timeline is so short and for sure not enough for symptoms to have developed to strain the relationship. I might think he's simply ignoring you for reasons other than a possible infection from you. Besides, he should rather call and inform you if any such thing was going on.
I understand the inconveniences calling him first. But juts to clarify and male sure that all is well, I may kindly suggest so, This will also keep you from guessing what the problem is.
