possible herpies or genital warts?

about 2 or 3 weeks ago I had a one night stand with a girl.  I was drinking that night and at times she would slide my penis in her Vagina without a condom or any protection, when I realized what she was doing I instantly pulled away but since it happened a few times (and also since I do not know if she has any STDs) Im worried I might be at risk of some sort of STD.  I started to worry that I might have herpes or genital warts and I started to research it online a little and found some information on Fordyce's spots.  The main concern started the next morning when I realized what had happened.  But ontop of that I noticed about 4 or 5 small dots on the head of my penis maybe later in the first or the beginning of the second day after the one night stand.  They were very spread out and I never remember them being there before.  They lasted for about 5 or 6 days and over that period started to fade away.  They are now completely gone, and they never once hurt or caused any discomfort.  Only worried me since I'm very uneducated just what they could have been.  I hear that herpes can sometimes go unnoticed for years before they outbreak, but I also heard that herpes is very uncomfortable and sore.

My main question is, based on what I said, do you think that what Im describing were just Fordyce's spots?  Or is it possible for those appear then fade and disappear?

Does it also mean anything since they never caused any discomfort or any pain or feeling at all?

Thank you very much for your insight

No problem.  I just point that out to people.  Most people use it and never think about it, so no worries.

I'm sorry I usually use clean as a term for being out of doge, but I won't use it in reference of STD's again.  I can definitely see how it could be offensive and how it is inappropriate.  My sincere apologies to everyone.

Well, it might mean you are std-free from this encounter, but only testing can tell you if you've gotten anything from another encounter.

And "clean" means someone has bathed.  It doesn't mean someone doesn't have an std, as that would make someone with an std "dirty."  "Dirty" means someone who needs to bathe.  I know most people use "clean" in reference to std infection, but I hate it, so I point it out to people, just as an FYI.

really in little spots that are scattered out?  They could just be irratation?  I suppose that does make sense since they went away so soon and popped up so suddenly.  I actually spoke to the girl too and she said she's never had any encounters with STD's so maybe I am clean.

It could be just a rash.  That sometimes happens from irritation, etc.

do you have any guess as to what you think it could be then?  Do you think it's something bad, or harmless since they just disappeared?  Because they honestly only lasted the better part of a week and no sign since.

If you're worried about herpes, don't bother with the blood tests yet.  They are not reliable until 3 months after exposure.

But what you describe does not sound like herpes to me, nor does it even sound like Fordyce spots.

Thank you very much for your advice.

If I went to a clinic and got some blood tests done would that be the best plan of action?

Warts wouldn't fade, and you wouldn't get std symptoms that fast.  

I can't tell you if they are fordyce spots or not - only a doctor who examines you can.
