Handjob 10 days later feeling unwell

The nerves and psychological aspect (guilt, worry etc) certainly are weighing heavily.

Sounds psychosomatic. Or just a flu as others have mentioned

Did you grow up religious or something?
 
You are braver than I sir.

Then again that's telling nothing. :p:eek:

You most probably just have the common cold. That won't show up in the influenza test.

The second most probable cause for your symptoms is you are just freaking out. I have seen guys get their lymph nodes swell up just because they were sure they got HIV.

Let me venture a wild guess. You are pretty inexperienced sexually, right? Was that your first time with a girl?

I don’t doubt that some of this is in my head. No, zero religion here.

I wish it was the flu but without a running nose and sore throat it’s hard to say that.

Well experienced but have been out of the game for a decade or so and this was not planned but happened.

some questions:
1. did you at least enjoy the hand job?
2. You have been 'out the game 10 years' so Im guessing you are at least in your late 20's - in what situation does a 'sexually promiscuous' lady in a non p4p arena give just a hand job? 2 consenting and horny adults with an available erection usually = fucking. why no fucking here? what did she get out of this tryst?
3. Can you not just ask the lady if she's ever had anything?

Not really. It’s all just a nightmare really. Late 30’s.

I can’t really get into the details and not really able to get in touch to find out. But the hands didn’t appear to have any sores or openings but they were likely not washed.

I’m really feeling nauseaus and not we’ll today but it’s too soon for testing. Ugh.
 
I will add that I see some of the symptoms here:

I have got the first 2 in spades:
  • Fever & flu-like symptoms
  • Nausea or feeling sick

The above says tingling in my legs is symptomatic of this also.
Good grief dude, you are blowing this out of proportion.
You're starting to sound more like a hypochondriac. You're going to make yourself mentally and actually physically sick with all this worry.

Slow your roll. You're seriously blowing this all out of proportion.

HSV-1 and -2 can be transmitted through skin-to-skin contact, but only where mucous membranes or cuts/breaks in the skin are present.

There are no mucuous membranes in a hand. So again, if there was no use of bodily fluids for lube, there's no vector for infection.

It is possible for a woman to contract herpes by giving a handjob to an infected partner to completion, and then touching her own genitals without washing her hands first.

To go the other way around, she would literally have to be masturbating herself to get vaginal secretions to use for lubrication.

Do you actually have a temperature that is at least a few degrees above normal? No? I didn’t think so. Anyway, if you somehow got herpes, I think you would have some blisters on your pecker by now. Maybe not. It’s a complicat d virus, and anything can happen, but the only scenario given the facts is that she somehow had living herpes virus on her hand. For this to happen she would have had to have touched her vag while in the middle of an outbreak and some of that fluid would have had to penetrate your skin. Just not really possible. Did you kiss her? Maybe you got mono or Epstein Barr. There are all kinds of exotic viruses people give each other, but hand to dock herpes is firmly in the realm of paranoia. It’s in your mind. Do you have a fear of germs or some kind of guilt complex re sex?

There was only hand to dick. Not normally and this event wouldn’t have been a big deal were it not for the below symptoms appearing suddenly (fluish with nausea for the last 4-5 days, very tired, never before experienced tingling both lower legs, odd taste in mouth, tender groin area.

I'm more interested in the mysteriousness surrounding this encounter. (shes 'promiscuous', you cant contact her, it wasn't p4p and you cant elaborate anymore....)
Was it some random girl at a nightclub ? My mind is also giving me some ideas that I won't post Lol.

also, it's easy to criticize someone for being a hypochondriac, but it's good to remember we're all slaves to our lizard brains.

did you develop those symptoms before you read that they were herpes symptoms or after you read it?
 
Thanks again guys for your replies. I’m pretty much at my wits end here but keeping it together .

Sadly no, it was the other way around. I have these symptoms and looked them up.

Whatever it is it will be cured at worst by a week of antibiotics.
 
herpes virus isn’t fixable if that’s what it is.

Well, if you did only what you wrote you did then it's not herpes. Or you will be the first person in the world to get herpes from a pure handjob.

Around 70% of people have HSV-1 and 30% have HSV-2. They all live normal lives with no problems.
