worried about getting herpes

I had sex four days ago with a woman i have been friends with for a long time.  She has hsv2 and has had it for 3 years.  she is on Acyclovir and had no symptoms or pondrome and i used a condum.  I have been having a mild burning sensation on my scrotum since the day after and have a small rash on it.  I have had a mild buning on my inner thighs also but im pretty sure its from chafing. I have been constantly checking myself also for blisters.  I have been panicking since the next day of this encounter. I am a complete nervous wreck and have been breaking down.  She told me that the suppresant does a lot in preventing the transmission.  I need to know if these are herpe symptoms or is it my nerves going out of control?  When is the soonest i can get tested?

So the other day i was relaxing and watching tv and scratched my scrotum.  I bekieve i scratched a little too much.  Well, a rash popped up the next day with red spots.  They dont look raised from whst i can see but there is a little bit of dry blood there.  Still have the same mild burning sensation also.  Should i worry?  I unfortunately dont have time to go to the dr at this time.

these don't sound herpes related.  you can have folliculitis and irritation as well as many things cause these symptoms.

be seen for your symptoms.

Well my symptoms are off and on still. I have been getting red bumps on my thighs but non of them are close together but sometimes they do hurt depending on where they are.  Can someone please tell me the herpe blister characteristics?  I have one semi painful bump on the inner part of my thigh.  And lastly, what are the chances of having outbreaks on your thighs?  I haven't had any questionable lesions on my genitals but am obviously still worried.  Thank you.
