Herpes?

So about 6 weeks ago I had brief sexual contact with a stripper. Contact was short but I rubbed my bare penis on bare vagina. I posted a few months ago stating what happened and was told not to worry since I had no symptoms.  However after about 4 weeks I got a pimple on my penis. It was completely painless and just seemed like a normal pimple.  But sorta freaking out again.  Could this be herpes.  Should I get te st ed. Will a blood test be accurate now or even necessary? Please help.

I remember the exposure. I still am not concerned this is hsv related. You can test for hsv2 via an igg test at 8 weeks. This will be a very good indicator. 12 weeks is conclusive. I only suggest testing as the amount of posts suggest you are extremely worried and a negative result may help put your mind at ease
