very worried stressing out!

ive had protected sex all my life but about a year ago unprotected oral twice from the same girl. she tells me shes clean but u know how that goes.ive noticed some small pimples on the head of my penis and they dont burn or hurt or anything some are just reddish others are similiar only with a white pus discharge if i pop it. i know its bad to pop it but i was wondering what it was. i went to my doctor and he said not to worry and stress about it but after hearing so much about herpes its really woring me so much they been there for about a month or so maybe a little more whats the risk of herpes through oral and whats your opinion on what it is? i would appreciate it thanks,

Does sound suspicious. Just get the blood test.

If they have been there for about a month, probably not herpes. Herpes comes and goes, producing lesions. The fact that they have been there for plus two weeks without scabing over is a good sign that it is not herpes. But like said previously, get tested for peace of mind.

Gotta love that judgmentalism. Here's  a question for you - why are you having sex with someone who you believe is lying to you?!  

This comment reeks of misogyny.  At the very least, you are accusing your partner of being a liar.  I've read more posts on here from men who decided that it was okay to have sex with a woman but, because of THEIR OWN anxiety, their underlying judgmentalism and fear of  female sexuality never fails to present itself.  It happens every time. I guess it's just easier to make your (female) partner into a "bad person" than take responsibility for your own behavior. I've seen it over and over on this  forum, and it's primarily men judging their female partners.

Look, if unprotected sex causes you to feel guilty or  brings up other  anxiety symptoms (which it obviously does), then why are you engaging in it?  

Oral sex is very low risk for STDs. It doesn't even sound like you know the STD status of your partner. And if you didn't trust what she told you about her STD status, why the hell did you have sex with her?  

One thing you might want to do, though, is hit the library and start reading some good books about feminism. Could be an eye-opener for you.
