Herpes?

On July 4 of last month i received unprotected oral sex and it was for about 3 to 4 min within the next day or 2 i started receiving tenderness or discomfort on my left testical. I started looking for information on why this is happening and it said i encountered genital herpes, but i never got the cold sores or breakout. Jusr a few days ago i started to to get a rash on sever parts on my body such as my back, buttocks, and my chest. I started to freak out.
My question is could i have herpes? Or is it just something wrong in the testicular area that isnt std related and just have a random rash.

No chance this is herpes. You are not going to get a rash over vast areas like you describe. Nothing you describe sounds even remotely like hsv. See a dermatologist.

If you have a rash or blisters/lesions you need to get them swabbed ASAP. Less than 48 hours from when they developed seems to be a common rule of thumb.

If you don't get them swabbed in time you can get an IgG blood test at 12-16 weeks post possible exposure. Always IgG. Never IgM
