Freaking out I gave him herpes during oral (are these cold sores???) Please help!

gave unprotected oral sex a while back and now he's not feeling too hot downstairs!! he hasnt had any blisters or scabbing/oozing but is feeling very unwell. hes had a "pimple" that has been on his scrotum for months, doesnt hurt or itch, or change appearance, and same location. i am really worried that i gave him herpes because im pretty certain i have cold sores (see pics) but i know i didnt have a cold sores when i gave him oral. im scared to talk about this with him about this! what do i do!!??

yep these are cold sores!
even if you didnt have a active cold sore during the time you gave him oral you can still transmit the virus through viral shedding.

if you only started getting cold sores after being with him then he could have gave it too you, or you could have carried the virus with no symptoms!

the pimple he has is not herpes it doesnt stick around for a month! but he still could have the virus with no symptoms.

:frowning: thank you for helping!!! these next steps are going to be difficult for me because he means the world to me and is already having a rough time.

ive had these for a few years, but seldomly get them.
