problem with zit like bumps & mouth

over the last year I've experienced a problem with zit like bumps and metal taste and dots inside the checks of my mouth(small lasting 1-3 days slightly different locations on the bit line of my checks).I belive this started after kissing someone  one year ago, as 2 days after developed extremely sore throat and flu symptoms lasting aprox 2 weeks.10 weeks later first bump appeared aprox  2inches from mouth(zit like with core of stringy puss had to be popped twice before healing over several days) had 7-8 of these bumps over next few months intial few were itchy and stung after not as much.(doctors I've seen told me not even posible for herpes).then started developing mouth symptoms mentioned earlier.(these also checked by doctor tests done for bloodwork hiv,syphilis,dieabetis all neg)they told me hsv1 test not recommended by blood work due to false positives. I also had concerns with being tired and generally feeling weaker and different ,I've since taken many herbal supliments and vitamins (even a round of anti-biotics & acid reflux meds for a recurring  sore throat )my symptoms seem to be nearly gone both orally and facially.
1) I still dont know what this is and am concerned about contagion.
I've noticed 2 similar bumps on an ex. and I belive a girl I hugged(may have had cheek contact) may of come down with flu like symptoms after?
2)when shaving I clean my face and razor with H2O2 ,even before shaving with the peroxide applied to the skin around my mouth I get the white fizz ,does this me I still have a contagious skin infection?
I would welcome your imput as there are some problems in what they allow & how they do things here in Vancover

what the white fizz refers to is that when I apply peroxide to my face before shaving there is visable whiteness happening ,my concern is that confirming an infection fungal,bacterial,or viral .I'd like to get it tested somehow but I've been unable to get a referal to a dermatologist or another test.
the stringy puss was just my discription of what cam out of a facial bump.

I don't know of any diseases, sexual or otherwise, that sound like what you describe.  I don't know what you mean by white fizz or stringy pus.  You're clearly worried that you picked up some disease by kissing someone, but I don't think you did, based on what you've written.  I'm not sure what other medical assurance would help you, now that doctors have looked at you and run all those tests.  Perhaps you should take them at their word and move on.  I don't think that the limitations of Vancouver physicians and medical coverage have any relevance to you.

Good luck.
