Please help. Is it Herpes

[finallydawn]

I went to a pros. not less than 2 days ago. Initially we hugged and I kissed her around her belly, shoulders and neck. I I took my pants and she put a condom. But I didn't have sex as I was nervous. Instead I masturbated with the condom and there was rubbing involved. She also had her jeans worn during that time.
After that I went to sleep and when I woke up I had throat pain and today it has progressed with a sore throat as well. Today,while bathing I felt a swollen lymph node the groin which is slightly painful to touch. I can say that there is little pain in that part of the body. Also I have little cough (coughing). I'm feeling a little drowsy and I think I might develop fever.
I was looking up on google for STD and came to know that you can get herpes this way. What should I do now? I was hardly ever in contact with her face and we did not actually kiss. Can it spread by rubbing? I'm not sure.  
To add, 2 weeks ago I was diagnosed  with a hair infection on the thigh by a doctor and it has healed.
I might have caught a cold or flu but how can I have the swollen lymph node? I am scared and worried to talk to anyone about all this. Please answer.

Yes not possible to contract it from bedding.

[finallydawn]

You mean "Not possible" is it?

[Life360_Dave]

No possible at all.

Sorry to bother you after a week. I had a question in mind. Is there a way one can catch herpes from the same bed sheet as that of an infected person?

I mean, if I sat on the same bed which was just used by an infected person and there was secretions from that person's lesions on the bed sheet, could I catch the disease?
I was a little worried because I can feel a slight irritation on my buttock when I sit,etc. It's probably irritated hair (like a tiny boil) but I was wondering.
Please try and answer.

Thank you for your comments. Will see a doctor if needed and probably update to you if I need to.
Thanks for the assurance.

[Life360_Dave]

Not from the affair you had. Maybe you have a cold coming. Its not std related at all as you did not have any exposure.

[finallydawn]

so what is that groin node swelling in your opinion? Is it related to any other STD

[Life360_Dave]

Then you did not have any risk.

[finallydawn]

Could this result in HIV? I'm very scared now. Should I see a doctor?

[finallydawn]

I was naked. She had her jeans on the whole time. I had no oral sex. She touched me in the genitals.

[Life360_Dave]

Well the throat issues would not be related but a swollen groin node could be. If your concerned youd have to wait 3 months post exposure to test. Was there naked genital to genital rubbing?

[finallydawn]

Thank You admins for your answers. I don't think there was any lip sore. I mean, her lips looked normal. But there was make up. I didn't see her genitals. However this turns out, I will refrain from such an act again in the future.
Should I believe that it is not herpes?

This sounds close to zero risk of herpes. Further a herpes infection would not cause the collection of symptoms you describe.

This is much more likely to be a flu virus than anything else.

Hi, to be at risk for herpes from rubbing it would take naked genital to genital naked contact. With kissing, it would take some deep rubbing kissing. In both cases it would take some rubbing and grinding to force the virus into the nerve. From what describe you did not have much of a risk and if there was not lip or genital sores at the time you can pretty much rule out any exposure.
