Hpv 2 diagnosis question-please read

About nine weeks ago I had unprotected oral sex from a woman. I fingered her and she sucked my fingers.  We kissed after that.  Within a week, and mind you I'm a big hypochondriac, I had a shooting pain down my leg, my whole body itched just everywhere,  and no doubt I had a stress headache.   It burned when I peed about a week and a half later for a few days,   Which was combined with irritation on my genitals, no redness anywhere, just irritation.  Since this possible exposure I had two std tests.   One was around three days after exposure the second was around two weeks after .   I have had no less than five or six HIV tests since then as well.  I've also been to the ER TWICE. Everything has come back negative, the only thing I was told that I have is HSV1,  ( no outbreak of blisters in my mouth, so I'm hoping I had it when I was a kid ) which the nurse told me it's no big deal because most everyone has it.  This past week I finally allowed myself to move on from the horrible mistake that I made.  Then… July 3 I went to the beach and when I got home I took off my bathing suit and noticed three small red dots on the tip of my penis,not clustered, more like in a line.  That's it , no other part of my penis is red or swollen.    These dots have not gotten any larger since July 3, they have not filled with pus, they have not really done anything.    One of the three, and mind you they're all pretty small, was very small… It looks like that may be going away.  What scares the **** out of me more is the irritation around the tip of the penis, and the first day I noticed this it burned when I peed.  The irritation associated with these three bumps is very similar to the irritation I remember a week and a half after exposure.  I've read everywhere that your first exposure when infected to general herpes begins anywhere from 2 to 20 days.   I wonder if I had an outbreak at that time without lesions, and nine weeks later this is my first round with minor lesions .   Does anyone ever have an outbreak of genital herpes this minor ?   I'm going to the doctor in a half an hour, the same doctor told me I was negative for HPV 2,  about a week and a half maybe two weeks after exposure .  Websites say all over the place that a doctor can make a clinical diagnosis on looking at lesions, but if for whatever reason he is unable,  to tell me visually  if this is a gentle herpes outbreak, would  I have enough antibiotics post nine weeks in to test positive?   Meaning if in fact these are genital herpes lesions, even extraordinarily minor ones, would I absolutely test positive for HSV2?

Hi, first of all if she did not have any lip sores at the time your risk you contracted genital or oral herpes is close to zero. Most with oral herpes have hsv1 so if you do infact have this from childhood you cant catch it again in either area.
You mention hsv2, Having his oral is extremely rare and shedding is like 1% of the time for oral so you can pretty much rule this out
Your symptoms dont appear herpes related either and first time hsv2 outbreaks are more often than not painful and obvious when initial symptoms do appear. This would also be accompanied with flu like symptoms in most cases as well.
Testing at the 8 week mark is a good indicator.
Most at risk for contracting herpes are in long term mono relationships where one partner is infected.
Did you contract herpes from a one time brief affair where she did not have any lip sore? Almost certainly not!
