Herpes? Painless?
In February, I had protected sex with a female. However, the condom broke and I immediately pulled out (within 5 seconds). From this incident, I got gonorrhea from the female. My other tests results (for all other STDs were negative, including hsv2, but positive for hsv1). The girl gets tested and tells me that she was positive for gonorrhea, negative for everything else including hsv2 and that she has never had any symptoms of herpes. I go back and tested about four weeks after the incident, and once again I am negative for STDs, including hsv2. However, fast forward two months and I notice a strange "raw looking spot" on my penis. It is completely painless, does not itch at all, and is not in clusters. As a matter of fact, the skin over top of it fell off while I was showering. This is on my penis shaft-- not the tip or anywhere else. I have fordyce spots but cannot recall anything like this.
1) could this be hsv2? Or hsv1 manifesting itself as herpes on my penis?
2) does herpes always have to hurt? As far as I know, if this is herpes, it is my first outbreak (which I have read are extremely painful)
3) my girlfriend and I had sex over the weekend-- could this be a friction burn/ rash? It is on the right side of my penis shaft near the tip
4) should I be concerned about the scab falling off in the shower? I read that typical herpes infections the scab falls off when the skin is mostly healed. My skin does not look healed at all. It looks like I fell down and scraped my knee.
Thank you for reading! :)

Did you get tested for syphilis recently? I don't know much about it but from what I can find it can take up to 12 weeks for a painless sore to apear, I would see what you can find on it.
Yes it could. Hsv primary outbreaks usually take place 3-5 days after exposure and rarely out to twenty days. Your time frame is way off and what you discribe is not hsv.
I hope this helps
