I have a similar case
I beleive I am having a first outbreak of herpes on my chest. I am a 32 year old guy. I was single for over the last 7 years and didn't do random hookups or anything. I signed up for a sex personals website because of my lack of a better option and met with a girl about 1 month ago. we both got down to just our bottom underwear on. I kissed her breasts and mouth area and was on top of her, but keeping my bottom away from her though, because I Was having an erection problem (E.D) I backed off an noticed that although she had her bottom underwear on, her inner thigh had a few "blisters" or something that I now would classify as herpes. I realized it was risky but I wasn't sure what it was as I was and still am very sexually inexperienced. I decided not to be rude and accuse her of that, she ended up giving me a BJ and I left the whole meeting was about 15 minutes or so. she never took her bottom underwear off. A month later now, I have blisters on my chest and some red bumps there also. I also had something in my throat swollen a few days ago, (uvula? maybe?) I fear that because when I was kissing her breasts my chest was near her bottom area and I got herpes that way. we werent rough or anything and I didnt notice and broken or bleeding blisters. I now have some broken and bleeding blisters on my chest though. Is there anything else that this could be other than herpes. Could it be herpes 1 since its only on my chest and not genitals?

This does not sound like herpes at all (meaning HSV1 or HSV2).
Anyone's accuracy in classifying herpes is quite low. The thigh would not be a common area for a herpes lesion. If more than halfway to the knee, then this isn't genital herpes.
The chest is not a common place for a herpes infection being notoriously difficult to infect, particularly with HSV2.
See your doctor or dermatologist for diagnosis and insist on a swab if you want to learn more. I cannot see how this would be herpes.
