Herpes parnoia or not

Hey im a 24 year old uncircumcised male on June 4 2016 I made the mistake of having unprotected sex with a 21 year old female. And about 2-3 days later I started itching burning kinda felt like a mild sun burn sensation. And the skin became very dark everything became sensitive and irritated and some redness like a rash . I went to 3 different Dr's they all said it looks like a have a yeast infection they gave me antifungal cream. But it's not enough. I've been really stressing Its been consuming my life the past month.          
All the Dr were confident that im fine the last one said he would do a blood test just to calm me down. I'm waiting the results. I'm so nervous because herpes can show years later. Trust them telling me I'm fine.

I hear you on the heat. Well when us men sweat a lot we get rashes and it itches. The sweat dries and the salt is left behind causing further aggravation. Your Dr's did not seem concerned for hsv. I doubt very much hsv is what's going on here.

Yeah ok it's probably a fungal itch if anything.  It looks dark a shiny and moist that's caused by fungal I think . Next to the veins going up its dark following the veins

Maybe your mind is set on thinking you have it or that something is wrong. It happens after we know we even could have had 1% risk of exposure. Take a breather and relax. If you see nothing, it MIGHT be nothing. Wait for results!

Yeah those results were negative for everything even Type 1 but I still feel uncomfortable and itchy I don't know what's wrong. And the blood drawn only 28 days post exposure I'm still scared.

If you had lesions on or in the urethra you would know it. It is extremely painful.

Ok thanks I've heard that it can happen years later and some people can show little to no symptoms minor symptoms can include microscopic blisters from an article I've read and it's not just itching the TIP can hurt a little to but not that bad it's a little brown around the tip. It doesn't hurt or burn when I pee

Most drs know how and what herpes is and they mostly give the right diagnosis except with a few rare cases... Itching isnt always the first symptom or even a symptom with hsv. I wouldnt worry if you do not see blisters, vesicles(pimple like) or ulcers. Just check daily and if you do see something call your dr. Even herpes looks like a few extremely rare health conditions.

Did the cream help. It would not help at all if it was hsv. Even if your partner had hsv of the genitals, your odds of contracting it from a single unprotected exposure is very small. Around 1 in a 1000.
