It's slightly worrying that you would say it's unlikely that he got herpes from a provider but could have contracted it from birth? This is the type of mentality that is unhelpful, and dangerous. Any type of sexual contact with an individual who has multiple partners carries the risk of an STD, full stop. Also, the "I did alot of crazy shit but never got an STD, so trust me" has got to stop. It's pointless and is a one man circle jerk. I appreciate the individuals posting about telling the person to see a doctor and calming the individual down, not making shit up about how providers somehow never get STDs.
From Europe to America, this is a factual statement according to research. Let's get our facts straight before we go challenging what someone says. And the research also shows that while escorts carry both viruses, it's highly unlikely they are the sources of spread as it would have to be a "cumulative" affair. Means over the course of the entirety of their career as escorts. Accumulation of exposure over a long period of time. Still few had symptoms and most had low viral traces. So no the science doesn't support escorts being the major source of herpes spread compared to general population. And yes, testimonies are about regular dating, one night stands, and being tricked by people who they trusted. Or they fell in love and decided to make a go at it, this is still according to scientific study the major source of spread. Route of spread is something I guess you failed in elementary school. Bring that I ban fair skinned escorts, and only consort with Asians, mostly, my accumulative factor is going to be based on that. And the girls I frequent get test and show me the test. Never seen a positive for any type of herpes. But when looking at my colleagues from the States, definitely signs of HSV-1! 2 I will never know! But what I do know is that reading the American Journal of Medicine or the Tokyo Sexual Health should be in your future or some videos about this from locals and even 10 years ago American men and women who had their first outbreaks in Japan. It's a good genre of video and affection watch those original videos, watch the response videos and the response videos are in line with what I and
@Sudsy have stated.
Since the OP had oral sex, I assume unprotected, most of the time in my friends circle, they would get HSV-1 in both areas. Yes you can get it in the lower region. I don't know how that works but 1 and 2 come up different in the U.S. So I find it hard to believe that 1 or both contributed to this outbreak as if that were the case and based on my long years of listening to basket cases or reading books, journals, watching military documentaries on disease, I just am not convinced that this is not a case where an escort gave him herpes that lead to an outbreak. Respect an opinion and don't be so quick to accuse people, label people, and make a big deal over spoiled milk.
The OP has a long life ahead of him, and we bring up ethics because now that he's had an outbreak and he knows, it's going to affect him. But it should not affect his life in anyway other than relationships. He's got meds, he should be on road to recovery and this matter in terms of him and this episode is closed. I personally wish him well!
For the rest of us fornicators who have no signs of infection, well every time we fornicate with anyone, the risks of catching a disease is always present. Gentlemen play safe and if you can't handle it, don't play! If you think so lowly of escorts that you always want to point fingers, but not consider other means of infection especially in the American and European communities, then it is safe to say that means a person is lacking. Not even worthy of having a pint and a conversation with!
