Contracted Herpes through hand job?

I received a hand job from another guy. He touched himself and then touched me. I had for a couple days frequency of urination and kidney pain but took cipro and that seemed to clear up. i went back to the doctor because of testicular pain. they gave me doxycycline for possible epididymitis, uti, and chlamydia. Is it possible I could have contracted herpes? I don't seem to have any discharge or burning of the penis. I have pain in my left testicle and the doctor said its slightly swollen. They said its not a torsion. Please respond quickly. Thank you

Thank you. I know I am just stressing. I have severe anxiety and I tend to feed it.

The stress you are undergoing because the medication is not working fast enough for you may be causing the delay in your body healing.  Please, take Grace's advice.  It has been 2 days since she told you to give it another week.  Give it 5 more days and if it is no better then, please see your doctor for follow up.  Posting your symptoms every day indicates you are looking all of the time for things.  Try not to look for symptoms for the next few days and then see how much better you may or may not feel.  Reduce your stress level so that your body will allow the medication to do its job.

Now I have burning and frequent urination. Could the antibiotics caused this? I have no more testicular pain. What could this be? Please respond quickly!

Thank you so much. I am feeling better I was just hoping that all this would go away quicker. I have only slight testicular pain and some clear discharge.

I now have a burning sensation in my pubic hair. There doesn't appear to be any bumps or anything, it just started this morning. Any thoughts?
Thanks

I got my results back and they think its a viral epididymitis infection. Are chills, nausea, fatigue, back,leg and abdomen pain symptoms of a viral epididymitis infection?

also does epididymitis always show up in an urine test? Or can some bacterial infections slip under the radar? Please respond quickly. Thank you

Thank you so much! I was having severe anxiety about this. I am being treated for epididymitis and hopefully the doxycycline will help soon. Anything else I could do to help with the pain?

odds are this was never anything std related. More likely either bacteria on the hand that was massaged into your urethra and caused you issues or even just irritation from the hand job.  You have no reason for any std testing and no reason to suspect you contracted hsv from this encounter.
