Hey Bravo. It wouldn't be hsv-1 or hsv-2. You already have had hsv-1 since you where younger so your body has already developed the antibodies for this virus. Acquiring is genitally is highly unlikely for people that already have antibodies produced for this virus. hsv-2 orally is very very rare and if it does happen it is typically in men that have sex with other men. Touching her vagina would not cause hsv-2 symptoms on your genitals.
If your last sexual exposure was in may then you can always get the hsv igg type specific blood test to rule out herpes. you can find a clinic here that is located by you, s t d e x p r e s s .c o m
This sounds like it could be fungal. Try washing with dove soap for a few weeks and make sure to dry your genitals very very good after getting out of the shower. Moist hot environments is what fungus likes. The perfect habitat on your genitals.
