im very scared i have a std?!


Question: Im very scared i have a std?
my boyfriend has had cold soers and he has bumps under the head of his penis and we didnt not use protection for the longest time could i have a std? i dont think i have any signs though

Answers:

Coldsores also known as HSV1 (herpes simplex virus 1) can be transmitted to the genital area, especially if he had a sore present when he gave u oral sex. 5% of the time he doesn't even have to have an open sore because he carries the virus in his saliva. As for the bumps under his knob it sounds very normal, they are tiny fat deposits that form into little cysts, best for him to get them checked just to make sure.
Both partners should be STI checked before having unprotected sex and have a back up contraception like the pill to avoid unwanted pregnancy
Hope that helped



Do you want an STD or worse an unplanned baby. If you know that there are penile bumps, warts or anything you think suspicious use protection. If your boyfriend has given you oral sex whilst his cold sores are active (weeping) then you have a good chance of contracting genital herpes and they are yours for life. Go to your nearest STD Clinic you can be seen anonymously Just because you have no signs doesnt mean you cant be infected Be sensible, be safe and your health will be protected. When you sleep with one person you sleep with all their previous partners, if one of them was infected then so will you be. Take him with you.



It's possible. :/ scary though
