Herpes symptoms

Hello thank you guys for all the help and support on these forums .
I have questions about symptoms regarding herpes type 2
I have protected sex 5 days ago. On the second day I experienced headaches and server itching and tingling on my pelvic area and what looked like fungal infection on my scrotum and sore leg and back muscles. I have to take account that on the day I had sex prior to that I was dancing all night so I might have just been sore from dancing but this doesn't account for the headaches two days after the event and fungal infection ?
On the  3rd day my headaches went away completely with no other symptoms . On the 4thday I noticed I had tingling sensation on the sides where my legs meet my hips and had groin discomfort for half the day and then vanished at night time . On the 5 day which is today I still hav tingling sensations on the sides of my scrotum but no head aches or muscle soreness and I occasionally get discomfort in the groin muscles but no pain . I have no sores or blisters just tingling.

Another question I have is that I've read on primary out breaks people might experience tingling, muscle pain, soreness, groin discomfort and irrataded skin (what I think is fungal infection) prior to having blister or sores. Do these symptoms come in stages ? For instance like my symptoms one day I'll have tingeling the it goes away and the next day I'll have groin soreness then that goes way and the next day I'll have headaches then those go away . Or do the symptoms all come together at once?
I'm worried I might hav contracted something even though I was wearing a condom there was still skin to skin contact from my pelvic area and her vagina lips which is where a lot if herpes take place ?
It's to early for testing since it's only the 5 th day  
But I would like to hear what you guys think about this and my symptoms .

Thank you for the comment
She had no visible sores at the time and The rubbing/friction was not longer than 5 mins if that and it wasn't intense rubbing either just slightly . I completely stop having sex when I noticed she had bleed all over my pelvic region and frantically washed off .

Since you say that my mentioned symptoms of tingeling and soreness are mostly or only for recurring episodes it sounds like this might be all in my head I might be paying to much attention along with anxiety

Thank you agin so much
If there is anything you would like to add please do so thanks again

Hi, tingling is associated with someone that already has hereps and is a sign of pending outbreak not for a primary infection. The tingling would also most often be at the spot of the recurrent outbreak not in the areas your mentioning like the scrotum as the under side of your testicles doesnot make skin contact as a rule.
Primary symptoms have been explained as fever and body aches but since you were out dancing the body aches could be attributed to that, not sure about the fever
Under stand the herpes is contracted by direct skin friction rubbing to force the virus into the nerve. Most primary infections are at the pubic mound area as is the females in the vagina lip area.
Of couse only testing would confirm but a one time encounter using a condom with her not having any vagianl sore at the time is nothing to be really concerned about.
