Bell's Palsy
My boyfriend woke up with half his face slightly droopy. I am worried as I looked it up online it common cause is stress or cold sores and genital herpes (herpes simplex). Could it be that his sexual contact with me triggered this? I don't believe I have STD or HSV1.. however I am worried.

This could be Bell's palsy. Not due to sexual contact. Its usually a viral infection. Consult a Neuro Specialist.
