Sores but not pus filled

Hey doctor,
I am a straight male.
A little under 5 months ago I had oral sex twice and sex roughly 5 times. Then about a month ago I had sexual intercourse with another female where I received oral for no more than 5-10 seconds and then we had sex.  The sex was much longer than I have had before lasting somewhere between an hour and an hour and a half.  I should mention that there was a lack of foreplay as well so she probably was not prepared.  After a while during the intercourse, I remember feeling a tingling or burning beeling at the base of my penis (which i think is a result of her not being ready and rushing it).  This ended roughly 1:15 in the morning.  Then a day went by.  I woke up that next day, l approximately 34 hours after the intercourse (around 11:30am) and noticed that I had these red marks that looked similar to pimples.  After a day or two, they turned in to these open wounds that im calling sores (roughly 5-7).  There were/are no puss but they were bothersome.  Smaller ones would come and go, but it has been a month and I still am getting a small one here and there.  The main discomfort for the most part is almmost gone besides thhe skin color not being fully the same yet.  They were not blisters though.
I started doing my research and saw that it looked more similar to the syphilis sores so I went to a clinic, got checked for syphilis, chlymidia, and gonorrhea.  The doctor just did the other two as precationary measures.  I told him that i have been getting canker oral sores since I was a young child so we didn't do the herpes test because they didn't have the test that distinguished the difference between 1 and 2.  The tests came back negative so the only STD left that I would assume that it would be is one of the herpes.  Could it be sex irritation, allergies, or bacterial.  Or Herpes?  What does it all sound like?
I should mention that both females said that they were clean even though I know it can go unnoticed.  Also during the sex, a latex condom was used every time.
I hope I was informative enough.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Thanks for the response.  When would you think the earliest I could get a blood test done?

This is not the doctor's forum - you have to pay to post there.

since lesion cultures were not done on your active symptoms, really no way at this point to know if it's herpes or not. You can wait a few months and get a type specific herpes igg blood test done to see what your status is. Should your symptoms reoccur, be seen within 48 hours of their appearance for a lesion culture and typing.
