Is this Herpes?

I have been suffering from blisters on the head of my penis since February now, and I am extremely concerned that I might have contracted Herpes. The symptoms are as follows:
1. Just maybe 1 or 2 small blisters on the head of the penis.
2. Last for about a week.
3. These stay for roughly 1 week.

I do not feel any pain during urination, unless if the blister is too close to the urethra (which it is this time...picture attached). Also, I do not get a fever when these blisters appear.

A bit about my sexual history.
I had sex with a woman around the first week of February. I used condoms for penetrative sex (always do), but didn't use any while the woman performed oral sex on me.
About two weeks later, I woke up one day with blisters under the foreskin, on the side of the penis-head. This appears to have happened suddenly, as I was fine the preceding day. This is usually the case - the blisters appear suddenly, unless of course, if it is so that I don't notice them till it hurts.

I don't know what this is, but it is killing me mentally. Is this Herpes?

Please don't attach any pics. Nobody wants to look at your peen.

You're far enough out to get a blood test, but if you are positive for HSV1, it won't tell you where it's located, and it's likely it'll be oral. You need to get the sores cultured the next time you have them.

it sure sounds like it. Have you not gone to a Dr to get tested? I would suggest you do so you can be sure. It's best if you go when you have a blister. They'll draw fluid off the blister and test that.

I'm not sure if that's a better way to test than the blood test. The others may be able to help you with that answer. Anyway...get to the Dr.
