He has HERPES! We both slept with him, do we have it? How do you get tested for herpes?


Question Posted Wednesday September 1 2004, 7:25 pm

I had sex with the same guy as my best friend's sister has. I just didn't know until after I had that she had already been with him. Well.. I talked to the girl he was with a few days later.. and she told me he had an STD. She said he had Herpes in his mouth. She said she was makin out with him.. and he had a sore on his lip and he said it was herpes and not to tell anyone.
She went to a clinic to get checked today. Can u still get herpes from someone if neither of u have open sores in your mouths? And should i get checked? or find out if she has it and then get checked.. I dont want to have to tell my mom i had sex with him, but im still scared i might have it.

Also, my BFF had sex with him the night after i did (eww) and she got checked too.. should I wait see if either of them have it.. or just go ahead and tell my mom and get an appointment at a clinic?

Please only answer if u know something about Herpes... THANKS!

Open sores on your mouth are not the dreaded STD herpes. Open sores on your genitals are. Open sores on your mouth, while a type of herpes, are just cold sores. It is estimated that 85% of the population carries the disease that causes cold sores, but most of them only have outbreaks when under stress or ill. You can only catch these diseases when open sores are present.

if your best friend has it, then you need to get checked. I think you should get checked annyways, but you don't want to tell your mom. You don't have to tell your mom to get an appointment. Make one by yourself.

If you had sex with him, then you are at risk, and you should get checked immediately. Don't wait to find out the other's results, because it is possible for someone who has herpes to have sex with several people and only transmit it to some of them. You can check into the medical facilities in your area, some states have privacy policies, and can test you without parental permission.

Good luck.

I think you should get checked, but if u have herpes it doesnt matter if u get checked today or tommorow! so i think u should go to a planned parenthood or the health department in ur town and have a truley confidential meeting with someone who will check u and then see if u have it, then there u can get medicine (if u have money) and ur mother will never know... but if u dont have money and need moms help im sure shell respect the fact that u had enough sence to get checked... shouldnt have had sex! but thats in the past now i just hope everthing is alright and u r too! :)

If he has herpes in his mouth its just a cold sore. Im pretty sure its just a different virus than the STD. Many people have cold sores o.o

If he had a sore on his lip its called a cold sore and it is a form of herpes but its not like a disease. It goes away in a few days.
