Ok, I'm sorry, but this question may be a little disturbing to some of you. But I REALLY need some help here. I just gave my boyfriend a blow job, and I'm scarred to death whats going to happen as the results. I really don't want to get herpes. When I came home I brushed my teeth really good and washed my mouth out with water and soap. I know a little paranoid. But I know the symptoms, but are they REALLY visible? Also, how long will it take for me to notice if I by chance do get them? I think they are caused by if your partner has some sort of disease.. but he never told me he had any. If any one can answer this, i'd really appreciate it. Thanks so much! =)
If this guy has never had sex with anyone else then you are safe however if he has it may be best, and just to put your mind at ease, that you visit a GUM clinic.
For future reference, if you are with a guy whose sexual history you are unsure of, use a condom whether having penatrative or oral sex (if using condoms for oral sex I would recommend a flavoured one as normal ones can taste quite nasty) - if he tells you it "doesn't feel as good" tell him he is spouting rubbish and walk away. That kind of guy clearly has no respect for your wellbeing.
If you are with someone on a long term basis and you do not wish to use contraception (which is not a good idea if you don't want to become pregnant etc) then both of you should visit the GUM clinic to be tested for STD's as this will give you both peace of mind before and after any intimate situations.
