Genital herpes and swollen glands

Hi, I recently had unprotected oral (both receptive and insertive with no ejaculation) and receptive and insertive protected anal sex with a transsexual escort. About 2 weeks later I developed blisters on my penis which looked like herpes based on my research. Around the same time I developed swollen glands in my neck and a mild sore throat. Sore throat went away in about 3 days and the blisters (there were about 10) disappeared a week and a half later. Now I'm 4 weeks from initial encounter and I still have large sensitive swollen glands in my neck and less swollen around my groin. I'm pretty sure my body temperature has been slightly higher than usual for the last 2 weeks also.

Is this normal for having contracted herpes? Or is it likely that the fact I still have swollen glands and don't feel good could be something else?

you need to go and be seen and start a proper work up.

your doctor will talk to you, look at your symptoms and determine what testing needs done to start figuring out what is going on.
