Herpes

I was wondering if anyone could answer this.

When you contract herpes would the rash develop around the area that was in contact with the person you caught it from? Or could it form anywhere on the body even if that body part was never in contact with the person?

I ask because I had unprotected oral with someone who I know has had other partners and am feeling a bit sore around...well, my ass. (It wasn't gay sex btw). This could just be from an explosive experience on the toilet the other night though after attacking some vodka. I'm still a bit worried though.

Anyone? :confused:
Probably due to the exploding incident unless there's still a problem in a few days.
I'd say that if you have even slighest cause for concern you should either go see yoru GP or your local GUM clinic who can take a swab and test it for you. Its far better to be safe than sorry hun. N whilst you're there they could do a complete test for you...its not p[ainful n only lasts a few mins n put all your fears to rest...hope that helps:smile:
