Does this sound like herpes????????

I had unprotected sex on 28th of March and had a culture test for HSV1 and HSV2 which came back negative. I got the blood test two weeks later which also came back negative but I got all the symptoms of the virus-so im very confused. The few days after, i experienced flu-like/fever type symptoms. Also, my glands were swollen and it burned when i urinated. I get tingles, not necessary 'down there' but i get them all down my arms and other areas too. I hope its just psychological ?! I had maybe 4 or 5 blister like spots on my pubic area (nowhere near my vagina or anywhere else) which started red with a little white/yellow dot in the top- then they burst and dried out. The red marks are still slightly here and it has almost been 2 months since i had unprotected sex. If I get another 'blister' i'll have another swab culture test but at the moment i feel like im living in limbo as i don't know if it is a false negative i have been given for my blood/culture tests as it is quite soon to judge. I just wanted to see if anyone feels the same or has any advice?!?! I'd really appreciate it :) !

Thanks !!!!! :)

An IgG type specific blood test is what is used to diagnose herpes. That and/or a swab of an active lesion.

It sounds so bad of me but I honestly don't know if he did or not as he was a complete stranger and i don't remember ANY of that night. Put it this way...i've been sober since then...as it was the worst night of my life and I feel like i've been living in limbo for the past month or so not knowing what's wrong with me. What is an lgG blood test????
Thanks for writing back to my comment!

One time unprotected sex is minimal risk for contracting herpes. Did that person have herpes?

At this point, if you are still unconvinced, you could go back at 16 weeks from March 18th and get an IgG blood test.
