Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi. I recently had an encounter with a woman. Who a month later found out or was diagnosed with genital herpes. It was a one time act(doesnt mean anything) of oral sex(from her to me) but i never had intercourse nor did i put my mouth in her genital area. All i did was kiss her. 2-3 days agter i remember having pain in my neck towards my esophagus and glands but the glands werent swollen (if i remember correctly) 3 weeks later i get a brown bruise that hurted like an ingrown hair but nothing ever came out(i still have the bruise) i later get what seemed like vertigo and nausea( i did throw up) for about three days i have yet to get any patterns of bumps..could she have transmitted any disease to me? At the time she i didnt see any sores in her mouth. Are any diseases or viruses like hiv possible of having been transmitted? Now almost 3 months later i feel like i have something in my throat and as of 2 to 3 weeks have been constipated and just feel like the world is caving in on me. I am 23.
