Is it herpes?

I received Oral sex from a lady of unknown STD status on June 30th, I performed oral sex on her too but for a very brief time. After less than 48 hours I had itching sensation in many parts of my body which lasted for few days and I also see a blister on my cheek below my eye. Now I am worried if this is herpes. I am planning to get HIV early detection test after 3 weeks and what about herpes? Is this really herpes. When does the herpes symptoms show up after exposure? And also let me know when to get Hepatitis B test? Please help..

I'd suggest at least 12 weeks post exposure for the HSV IgG antibody tests.

This does not sound like herpes at all from the symptoms you describe. Symptoms would appear at the site of viral entry 2-10 days after exposure.

HIV was not a practical risk from this activity. If you feel the need to be tested then see a generation 4 DUO test 28 days post exposure.

Hepatitis B, 8 weeks for an antibody test.
