Ever since I could remember, I've had cold sores on my lips. They come and they go. I don't get them alot, usually just in the winter. Well, I had one on the right side of my lips, and my boyfriend who is still a virgin* I gave him headd, well later that night, he called me and told me he had something that looked like a hickey on his shaft, and another one right under his head; but it had a rough texture too it. He said it hurt him to touch it, and to even pee. Did my cold sore do this?

Btw, now after we kissed, he has three cold sores on his bottom lip, and three lie bumps on the tip of his tongue. Is this from me too? Or is it because he had strep throat? My cold sore is completely gone. But I read someone elses post, and they had a smiliar problem, and they said she had a std?

I've had sex with two guys; One was a virgin, and the other one had sex with two girls before me. I gave them both head; but I haven't experienced any signs of STD's. (link)
"Cold sores" are the common same for Herpes Simplex Virus 1 (HSV-1), or oral herpes. It's extremely common - most people have it. It can be transmitted to the genitals, but it's uncommon. Even if it is transmitted, the symptoms take longer than a few hours to show up. If that was the first time you gave him head (and you've never had intercourse), those spots on his penis didn't come from you.

The cold sores around his mouth - those definitely might have come from you. But he shouldn't worry about it - he would probably get those sooner or later anyway.

There is a very slight chance that you have a genital herpes (HSV-2) infection in your mouth. That almost never happens, but it is possible. However, again, that wouldn't have shown up on his penis for several days at the very soonest.

Hope this helps. Technically HSV-2 is considered an incurable 'STD', but it's not a terribly bad one as far as such things go. If you're really worried about it, they have tests for both HSV-1 and HSV-2 for about a hundred bucks.

Good luck! And don't be too worried. You guys will be fine.

Thank you very much for you advice. I've had cold sores since I could remember. I know my mom use to get them alot, and before I even kissed a boy, I got them too; the doctor told me it was from cold weather. When I became sexually active, I went four years without it, and during those four years, I got checked for STD's about 8 times, because the dr told me you never know when it will show up, so after 4 years, the doctor finally told me I was clean. I have no signs of STDS and my cold sore wasn't an std, it was herpes, but not the std herpes.
