Genital Herpes Risk

I had not had sex in over a year, and seven days ago I slept with my a long time friend, using a condom with intercourse, and received less than a minute of unprotected oral. I know that he has 1-2 new partners each month, and is never tested, although he says that he has never 'noticed any symptoms'.

Then, last night, I slept with a man who I have been dating for months for the first time.  

Today I noticed a single, slightly raised bump on my labia majora.  It is reddish and small.  It is similar to the typical gland/papules in the area, except twice the size and redder.  

Is it likely that this is HSV 2? Or from the friction of last nights sex. I am beside myself with concern that a one-time encounter with a promiscuous male friend will affect the relationship that I have been cultivating for some time.

Thank you,  
I just actually realized that I'd posted multiple times as I wasn't sure if it was posting.  Thank you for removing the others.

I realize that it would have had to have been from my partner a week ago, but are there odds/probability risk of a one time, protected exposure, say he was hsv positive?

Thank you.

I removed your other posts since they were all the same. please keep it all in one post as we ask in our read before posting post located under the important announcements tab on the forum.

you need to be seen and get your symptoms looked at. odds are this isn't herpes. if it is, it would've been from the partner a week ago, not the one last night. herpes symptoms don't show up that quickly.
