Do I have herpes?
About 6 weeks ago, i had oral sex and vaginal sex with a guy. During vaginal sex the condom broke. I am experiencing some of what I think herpe like symptoms such as mild fevers, vaginal itching, itchy, irritated and dry lips. I haven't had any outbreaks yet that I know of only small bumps around the edges of my lips but I have been having these symptoms. i also had a swollen feeling in my throat and a earahe about a week after the encounter that lasted about 4 days now my throat isn't sore or anything but it has a weird feeling and some phlegm in it and still the earache i went to a throat specialist and he said it was a throat infection and prescribed clindamycin but it doesnt seem as though it is working since now my throat feels achy.I was burning while i urinate but i used monistat and it stopped but sometimes it comes back for like a day and then it will stop again.
Could have herpes? Is it possible I have herpes in my throat? and my vagina?

keep returning to your campus clinic as needed. they are probably your cheapest option at this point. You were seen by a specialist who gave you antibiotics for your throat - if they don't work, give them a call about it.
your herpes igg blood testing isn't accurate until 3 months post encounter. your symptoms could be herpes orally and genitally but if you've been seen several times and no one has suspected herpes, little reason for you to suspect it.

I've been to multiple doctors, clinics, etc they keep giving me the run around. Im a student and I really don't have the money so I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place I dont know where to go and get help
you need to be seen and get a proper evaluation done. your symptoms can be due to many things and the best way of figuring out what is going on now is to get examined.

yes the only three that would have been conclusive was the chlamydia, gono and trick. I don't know where she got her information but no, the others would not be accurate at 2 weeks. it takes longer for the antibodies to form in the blood for those. chlamydia, gono and trick are bacterial which days a day or two for the bacteria to grow which is why they are accurate sooner.
I was tested for all of these a little more than 2 weeks after the encounter and they all came back negative. According to your time line im guessing the only accurate test would be the chlamydia, gonorreha and trick. the nurse at the health department said that they were all accurate at 2 weeks though so im confused.
well your symptoms of vaginal itching can be a sign of any thing from and STD to a bacterial infection. Because you were at risk for all STDs you need to get tested that is the only way to know if you contracted anything. see below for a time line for testing
Chlaymdia, gonorreha, trick- 7 days post encounter
HSV- 3 months
HIV- 3 months
Syphilis- 6-8 weeks
