Do I have herpes? Or a different std?

Hey so I had unprotected sex with an ex boyfriend. And about a week after I got sick sore throat earache headache mouth sores as well as bloodshot eyes. We only had sex no oral we kissed that's about it. I went to doctor was told I had viral syndrome and was given a steroid to to for 7 days. After 7 days I was still sick eyes still red headache earache abdominal pain butt hurts and now I was getting red dry patches on skin with pimples on cheeks and chin as well as mouth sores still in mouth. It's been 3 months and now I have a lump on my upper thigh under my belly moves but doesn't hurt. I got checked for HIV  gonorrhea chlamydia two and a half weeks after I had sex all said negiative. I don't know what to do. Help?

Hi, testing 3 months post exposure would confirm if you contracted herpes from him but your symptoms donot appear at all herpes related, First time symptoms like fever and bodyaches should no last longer than a week or 2. And contracting herpes from a one time affair where he did not have any genital sores would be close to zero.
Since your sexually active do take the herpes test for the protection of future partners.
