Help do I have Herpes ?!!

Typical story went to Vegas got extremely intoxicated, spent a bunch of money at a stripclub, But the night is really foggy. I don't remember doing anything besides getting a private dance but I can't say for %100.

On the way home vegas I started getting really bad anxiety about the situation bease im married, I know I'm an idiot.  7 days after the night after I had worked my self up horribly I started having pain in my groin area, on both sides. A kind of stinging burning sensation once in awhile. That went on for 4 weeks. Then my armpits stated getting a weird feeling to that was going on for a week.  So I went to the Dr. They tested for all stds besides herpes because it was to early I thought. Now 6.5 weeks later I'm starting to get a rash on my groin where the pain kind of is.  It's just reddish like irritated skin. I need to go back to the Dr. But I'm terrified. I haven't been sick at all, no fever. Just the groin and armpit pain and now rash.  Do I have herpes?

I know first hand that anxiety and self examination can cause all sorts of irritation.  Hsv would have shown up within 10 days and will not linger for a month or better.

Thank you so much for your answers. I was tested at 5 weeks for everything besides hsv and was negative, my wife knows about the situation as my anxiety about it has made daily living very difficult. Is the groin a likely first time outbreak location. The upper right part of my groin that is turning red. Is burning pretty bad today and I'm really worried im going to have an outbreak there. I just don't know how I can have  all these pains in my groin and it just be anxiety.

I agree with Don, as we see this all too often and i will bet the kitchen sink that your groin pain (on both sides) was caused by you spreading your legs wide looking for things and the stinging is from pulled mucsles. You would know if you had sex as even when drunk things and images get embedded in our memory but if you dont know then tests for all std,s at the correct window period for your wifes protection.

Nothing you describe sounds remotely like hsv. Your symptoms are most likely caused by your stress over nothong really. Hsv needs skin to skin contact while being massaged in. Sexual contact. That being said even if you had such contact (seriously doubt it) it would be highly unlikely to contract it from a one time exposure.  You would have most likely had a highly unpleasant outbreak around 3-10 days after exposure. You are fine but you can test at 8 weeks if you want.  A littke over 70% of newly aquired infections will turn pos by then.
In my opinion though, there is no real reason to suspect hsv or anything else for that matter.
Hope this helps
