Do I have HSV 2?

Hi all I'm a 38 year old male about a month and a half ago while having sex with a prostitute my condom ruptured and since about two and half a weeks and a half ago I've been noticing red spots on the the head of my penis which are making me feel extremely anxious. . I am concerned that this may be herpes, I have posted some pictures on my profile and I would appreciate any opinions/advice.

Thanks!

Like I said go have them looked at. I agree with fleetwood 100% timing is wrong the length of which they have hung around and the fact the bumps are on the head and not the shaft. We are both confident this isn't hsv.

Everything looks pretty normal, that does not look like herpes to me!

The location and timing are all wrong. You'd be far more likely to experience lesions at least on the shaft within 10 days of infection.

Tiny bumps under the glans is normal. I have them as well.

Hi I just got my results today and I tested negative for HIV and all the other VD's, I got tested just over six weeks after being exposed so I'll have to test again in a month or so just to be sure. I feel so relieved about the results and I am so grateful for your advice and insight. I think you must have saved an untold number of worried people from suicide so it's a huge deal that you answer folks questions online. I'm never going near a prostitute again I've learned my lesson!
Thanks again

Apologies I forgot to mention that my Dr took a look last week and said that I don't have herpes but he didn't carry out any test.. I've noticed tiny bumps just beneath the glans and I've posted one more picture, nothing below that on the shaft though..

Hi

Your insight is very helpful and encouraging and I am most grateful. I'm currently awaiting results for an STD screening which I'll post once received.

Hi Thank you so much for getting back to me

I first saw the spots/lesions around April 8th 2016 after the ruptured condom which happened roughly March 8th - 10th. These spots/lesion have seemed to pop-up, disappear then resurface on another part of my penis. I'm a bit confused.

How long have they been there? It was hard to get the time frame from your post. Hsv lesions progress quickly into fluid filled blisters. Usually a day or two after the bumps appear.  I would suggest seeing your Dr or a dermatologist. You can have them swabbed or a biopsy.
