Herpes?

My boyfriend and I had what seemed to be ingrown hairs, but we were nervous they could be herpes, so we went to the clinic. The doctor told us both that what we had was folliculitis. As soon as he looked at it he said there was no way it was herpes. They were not blister like at all, rather they were bumps, just like ingrowns. I had none inside or on the lips of my vagina, moreso the bikini line farther back.
Now, I have a canker on the back of my cheek near my tooth, I also had a tiny one on my tongue.
I recently went on vacation and was eating a lot of pineapple (which I understand is acidic), I also had swollen glands and was very tired. I thought I had sunstroke. Tiredness, muscle aches and swollen glands all seem to be symptoms of herpes.
I heard cankers can also be from stress, and it is exam time.
My boyfriend was tested a few months ago and did not have herpes.

Can you get just ONE canker if it is herpes, or do the sores always come in clusters?
Do the outbreaks have to be blisters?

Pineapple is a known trigger for canker sores. no reason to suspect what's going on in your mouth is anything other than canker sores which are not herpes and are not contagious.

Your provider who actually saw the two of you doesn't feel this is herpes.  

If you've never been tested for herpes before, why don't the both of you get full std testing and ask for herpes blood tests so that you don't have to think herpes the next time things like this happen?
