It is possible to get herpes from a BJ.  This is not the end of the world although it may seem like it.  I got herpes anally a 12 years ago and have a reoccrrance from time to time,  Developed some scrotal lesions with my last outbreak which was new for me.  My doctor put me back on suppressive therapy.  The girl that gave it to you may not have even been aware she had it

 

I would discuss it with your pediatrician.  They are professionals.  Tell your mother that you would like to speak with the doctor alone if it is necessary and just be matter of fact with him,  They have heard it all before Smile.  I think the important thing to remember is that it is just a virus.  It is not some devine retribution from God.  Herpes had been around since recorded history.  It is a MEDICAL condition that can be managed. Your doctor may want to put you on some suppressive theraoy.  You will most likely need to tell your folks, but you doctor can help you with that.

 

BTW - if you go to the drug store - in the area were the condoms are, you can by personal lubricant.  It will be less irritating to your skin than shampoo.  You do not need to be of any certain age to buy this stuff anymore.

yea but do you think i have it ? I think its just my skin being irritant to the shampoo. I talked to another guy that had had a BJ from her. He said he got a check up and he did not have herpes.

If it was the shampoo, I would think that it would have given a generalized rash, especially on your penis.  I would check with your physician if you are concerned.  I centainly would go immediately if I thought I were getting a reoccurance.  Regardless, use something for a lub that is designed as a lube.  Somitng like Astroglide or WET is available over the counter.
