Canker sores after oral sex?

Posted on May 14, 2011

I performed oral sex on a guy a few days ago, and I now have two canker sores. They're pretty tiny, and located on different parts of my mouth. One on my upper lip, but on the inside part of it, towards the inside of my mouth where it is not visible with my mouth closed, and the other is on the inside of my cheek. I'm wondering if this is common or if it has happened to anyone else. I've always gotten canker sores here and there when I was younger, but everytime I give oral sex now, I get at least one canker sore. Although, it has always been with the same guy, so it's not like it has been with multiple partners. Does anyone have any insight to this situation?

Hiv, oral sex, canker sores?

Posted on May 6, 2011

I started being sexually active last September. I've had sexual activity with 11 men since then. I used a condom always during vaginal intercourse, but never during oral. I swallowed semen when with 3 of these men. In September, I got some canker sores in my mouth, which I had never had before. They healed fairly quickly. I seem to have gotten another similar sore in my mouth. It appeared about 5 days ago, is white and painful, and seems indicative of another canker sore. I've never been tested for HIV, which I know is bad but I will definitely do it asap
My questions are : how likely is it that I have contracted HIV from these encounters? Is it likely to get HIV from oral sex in which I swallowed semen but swallowed it immediately? Are my canker sores indicative of HIV infection? thanks
it's not herpes. nothing about it is indicative of herpes because it's inside the mouth and completely flat. they're canker sores.
ah, racquel. way to be a close minded idiot.
it was september 2007

Tired? Dizzy? Canker sores? Fever? Neck Pains? What is my condition!?

Posted on April 30, 2011

for the past two days I have had HORRIBLE back neck pains, fevers, headaches (horrible), been really tired, dizzy whenever I stand, and a canker sore that is really irritating.

I have seriously considering Oral Herpes (i had oral sex last week) except I only have on canker sore and the area around my mouth isn't irritated and I don't have a lot of canker sores. Nothing inside my mouth is bleeding or inflamed either.

I also read it could be from nutrition and it may be. I have a slight eating disorder. I also heard it could be from allergies. I have HORRIBLE allergies and have stopped talking allergy shots because of time and money issues. I also haven't religiously been taking my allergy medicine.

Could it also just be a cold? I don't even know. Does anyone know anyways to cure my symptoms? Please help, thank you.

Fever blisters and canker sores?

Posted on April 27, 2011

I'm looking for a bit more information on fever blisters and canker sores. I've had problems with both and while it was always a (sometimes painful) annoyance, it never concerned me until I got a boyfriend. He hasn't had problems with either and I'd like to keep it that way if possible.

I know fever blisters are caused by the herpes virus and are currently incurable - so, my questions:
1. When can the virus be given to someone else? Is it at any point or only when I have actually fever blisters present? And if it's when there are fever blisters, is it a fever blister in any form or only one that's moist (not scabbed over)?

2. Is there any progress being made on finding a way to cure these things?!

3. Is there anything I can get in terms of medication to prevent outbreaks or shorten them? I'm already using Abreva whenever I get one, and I don't get them often, but I'd rather have them reduced as much as possible.

4. This might sound silly, and it's not really relevant to me right now, but it will be someday...I heard somewhere that if you have an active fever blister, and you participate in oral sex, you can give your partner genital herpes. I know there are two separate herpes viruses that cause fever blisters and genital herpes, but I've read that the type which causes genital herpes can occasionally cause fever blisters too. Is there a way to tell what type you have?!

As far as canker sores go...
5. Are canker sores actually contagious? Everything I've read seems to suggest that no one really knows why they happen. Is this true?

6. What medicine tends to be the most effective for treating canker sores? Is there something out there that can minimize their occurrence?

Thank you!

Herpes?? Canker sores???

Posted on April 8, 2011

Ok... Now Canker Sores are herpes virus. Now my question is if someone has a canker sore and performs oral sex on someone can that cause genital herpes? Or is that a different strain of the virus?

Herpes? Canker sores? Help?

Posted on April 4, 2011

Ok i get canker sores pretty often. Im 15. But my mom asked my doctor about it and the doctor said its herpes simplex 1. And i researched it and some websites said that canker sores weren't herpes. Others said different things. I was just wondering if they are herpes and can you get genital herpes when you do oral sex and have canker sores? Thanks =D
