Could it be shingles? Did either doctor test you for this? The same antivirals that are used for HSV are used to treat shingles, but in much MUCH higher doses. Id get back to a doctor that knows something about infectious diseases.

Did you really just compare contracting HSV to getting raped? Was the sex that you had with this person consensual? Did you use protection? Did you ask her beforehand if she had any STD's? Can you prove that you did? (if you did) And if you did, did she flat out deny she had any? Can you prove (or your attorney prove) that she knew she had HSV before you two had consensual sex? Can you prove (or your attorney prove) that you absolutely did not already have HSV before you two had consensual sex? These are just a few questions you will be asked by any attorney before they would even agree to take your case. In a court of law, you have to prove, with evidence, she did this to you knowingly, and that you did not already have it.

Hi! Im not trying to minimize your concerns, but this is the first time I have ever seen anyone be so concerned about cold sores. Here is my story, I have gotten cold sores (or fever blisters as we called them here) since I was a kid. I spent my entire life never feeling I needed to share that with anyone. If I got a fever blister, brought on by either way too much sun, or way too much stress, I just didn't kiss anyone. I am 50, have had numerous boyfriends and have been married twice now. My first husband, married to him for 15 years, never got fever blisters, ever. My second husband, who I was with for 7 years, also never came down with them. And he wasn't exactly the healthiest person either. A total non issue. It was just like if I had some sort of cold,or illness, I wouldn't kiss anyone until it was gone, so that person wouldn't catch my cold. Same applies with fever blisters. Honestly , there are many more things to be worried about contracting than oral herpes. It is only an issue if you have pre determined you are going to make it one. Which is what it kind of sounds like you might be doing :( . And additionally, if I ever feel like I have one that wants to make an appearance, (maybe once a year??) I take acyclovir tablets right away, and it never surfaces. I hope you don't worry yourself so much about this! :) You do realize that it is estimated that 2/3rds of the world population has oral herpes right? If you end up getting it, I promise you it is far from the being the worst thing you can get in your life. I would be more embarrassed by a big pimple on my nose, or a mole growing above my eye! :)
