Hi guys.
So i recently hooked up with someone with HSV2 . He didn't tell me beforehand, because who knows? Anyway, he was not super educated on the virus or how it transmits, and because he didnt have any symptoms since last year, assumed that he wasn't shedding. He presents anally, but didnt have any active lesions at the time of contact. Our contact extended to brief rubbing of our genitals together, and mutal oral, with my performance on him being a lot shorter than his on me.
Now, since then i have had symptoms around my mouth only, and im not sure how symptomatic of herpes they really are. I've attached a detailed timeline of my sexual health history from the past few weeks to show how it progressed, and i'd really appreciate if anyone could educate me further on how much i should be worried, as i unfortunately suffer from OCD which is why ive squeezed and aggravated these bumps.
Thank you in advance.

- Surgery - Tuesday 11th july on testicles to remove sebaceous cysts - for period afterwards i experienced not burning, but warmth when peeing and dark urine. Kept having a dry throat the week after and a dry mouth.
- Mon 17th d i hooked up with a guy, we had oral sex (I rimmed him) and that was it. We have hooked up a good few times as friends with benefits, so i had come to sort of trust him.
- By the end of this week i wasn't feeling 100%. I knew something was up in my throat.
- Sat 22nd i went on a date and we made out a lot. He attested to having been screened for everything and being HSV negative across the boards for his job
- By the beginning of Sunday, i was feeling under the weather.
- Sunday 23rd i met a guy. We jerked each other off and briefly rubbed our penises together, then i briefly performed oral sex on him before he performed more substantial oral sex on me. In all, the encounter was short. Afterwards, he told me he has HSV2. There is no active outbreak and he says he hasn't had one in over a year, but nonetheless, it triggered my violent OCD about STDS.
- Monday my symptoms worsened, the urine had actually stopped being dark and sort of off smelling, but my throat was sore, and I could feel feverish aching tendencies coming on. These symptoms progressively worsened throughout the week, and had been growing the previous week.
- Tuesday i received an STD test whilst getting my HPV vaccine, i asked about HSV2 and they told me the risk was quite low, but not non-existent.
- My symptoms of feeling poorly worsened.
- By Saturday a small spot appeared on the top of my lip. I do get acne, and sometimes, but not frequently around my lip. Being OCD i squeezed it immediately without seeing what it formed into. It didnt really eject any matter which is unusual, But it definitely was a swollen area. Another similar spot appeared a few inches to the right, but it apepared to have a whitehead. I squeezed it too.
- Monday morning my OCD was in full throttle, i went into the clinic to discuss the spots, and they informed me that my test results back and i was positive for Oral Gonnorhea. All other results, including HIV, negative. They once again looked at my face, offered to swab and told me it didn't look like herpes typically. i Declined the swab because i didn't feel equipped to deal with another blow in results. I was treated for the oral gonorrhea and later i discovered it came from the guy on the 17th.
- As the week went on, i developed very much head-coldy symptoms. But also with aches and fever. Lots of phlegm, dry lips and eyes, and a nasty cough from the matter in my throat.
- The spots on my lips didn't get any worse. In fact, they pretty much got better after day 2, they tingled a bit but i felt that could be from sun exposure to dry lips and putting tea tree on the area (as well as squeezing!) The original spot has kind of healed a bit like a crater. At no point did they crust or ooze, but i have to say when i squeezed the original spot the liquid produced was clear rather than a typical spot discharge.
- I got another spot on the corner of my mouth. This one produced enough material to know 100% it was acne. My lips remain dry and cracked. I feel very 'under the weather' and congested nasally. My sore throat is better but i feel exhausted.

I do wonder if i contracted either HSV1 or HSV2 from someone, and specifically since i was exposed to HSV2 - how common is it to have that transmit to your mouth?
