Herpes between testicles and anus

Hello, and thank you in advance for your help. I recently (3 months ago) had unprotected sex with an HSV2 positive woman twice. I had an HSV2 blood test about 5 weeks after, and tested negative. Recently, I have developed a "rash" between the base of my scrotum and my butt cheeks. I have had no other outbreak at all. I don't recall having any vaginal contact there whatsoever. Does this sound like I should be worried? Thanks so much....

herpes blood testing isn't considered fully accurate for ruling out infection until a minimum of 12 weeks post encounter. Testing 5 weeks later was too early.

odds are this isn't herpes related. If your herpes test was completely negative, odds are you would've had a pretty "classic" herpes ob initially.  Time to be seen and get this looked at. Odds are it's nothing herpes related.
