Culture came back positive for herpes, blood test didnt.

I had symptoms of herpes, so I went to my doctor she did a full exam and took a culture off of one of the sores.  She also did a blood test.  The culture came back positive but the blood test negative.  I have been with one person, unprotected [whom i shouldn't have] for the last 3 weeks about and the symptoms started about a week ago.  I didn't think you could contract it that fast but if it isnt in my blood system yet that has to mean I got it from that person correct?  How fast can it take for you to contract it and have an outbreak? I am under a great amount of stress and was while I was with this person and I was wondering if that made my body more likely to get the infection and have an outbreak so fast?  Please help me I am so confused and hurt.
