Do i have Herpes?

New to this so hoping for some help.

In the middle of August i gave and received unprotected oral and had unprotected vaginal sex with a friend.

A couple days later i noticed a burning in my urethra and my tongue was also pure white. There was also tiny bumps on the head of my penis. I ordered Acyclovir from the internet and immediately started taking it. The white bumps never developed or burst, they just disappeared and the whiteness on my tongue started to go away. I also took 1g of azithromycin. I went to the STD clinic and was negative for Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Syphillis and HIV.

However this burning in my penis has persisted and it is not at specific times like after ejaculating etc, it is noticable all the time and also there is pain in the skin around my anus it feels like. Ive had this checked by my gp who said it looked fine and gave me a pill and cream for yeast infection but alas, still the symptoms persist.

So i'm asking if anyone thinks this may be herpes? I have had no lesions or cold sores or outbreaks, just this pain of my two genital areas.

Hope someone can help out

The issue is that i still have the burning, 3 months after the encounter. Like everyday it's there, as well as the pain around the entry to my anus. The only thing i haven't been tested for is herpes cause my gp and clinic nurses won't do blood test

Hi, first time outbreaks are at point of contact like the shaft area not inside your urethra and urethra herpes would be extremely painful 24/7. I would think that the burning sensation that appeared a couple of days later would be due to an injury from the act itself as std symptoms take at least 5 days to cause discomfort.
