Herpes spread by fingering?

Hi I had a drunk night about two months ago where the guy fingered me after licking his finger alot. This went on for about 10 minutes. Then he peed on my clit. About a week later I got a terrible yeast infection and a bacterial infection at the same time (bacteria was H influenzae). The doctor told me it was probably caused by the fingering. Would it be possible to get herpes this way? Both infections cleared up but then about 3 weeks later I got a red rash near my vagina with some bumps and burning. This burning has not gone away for 3 weeks. One doctor told me possible herpes another told me warts or skin tag. I am going crazy! What the heck is it? My herpes blood test was negative (taken 6 weeks after the risky behavior).

You hope so? Give the clinic a call and ask.  Did they do any sort of testing while you were there or just a looksee?  Either way you have been having symptoms for a month now - go follow up elsewhere if they weren't able to figure out what is going on.

I hope so. I have been having burning and irritation for 4 weeks now. Never had a blister or anything. Just soft bumps that could be confused with skin tag. I am an athlete and sweat alot so maybe it is sweat irritation. I don't know.

Did they retest you for bacterial and fungal infections again when you developed this rash later on?

It's very, very unlikely that you contracted genital herpes thru fingering though in theory you could've contracted it from his urinating on you if he had an active herpes infection going on at the time that the urine was flowing over and picking up active virus.  It's a reach though even with that.  Did they do a herpes culture?

I'm concerned that they can't tell if it's herpes, warts or a skin tag ( concerned as in questioning their experience with them all ).  I suggest you see someone else for a consult.
