Pimples on penis

Hello, I had unprotected sex a few weeks ago with my girlfriend but then broke up with her because I found out she was cheating on me the last few weeks.  My concern is that I have been having small red bumps (look a lot like pimples) show up around the base of my penis.  They aren't clustered, they havent exploded into open sores, and they don't hurt at all.  I'm just wondering if I have anything to worry about and if I need to go and get tested, or if I can wait few weeks until I'm back home to do it (I'm a college student).  Thanks so much for your help in advance, any information you have would be greatly appreciated!

since you know your partner has had other partners, it's best to follow up on this as well as cover your std testing bases at the right time. You can get tested for chlamydia and gonorrhea anytime after 1 week after you last had sex with her. syphilis after 6 weeks. herpes and hiv after 3 months.

if they don't hurt, odds are they aren't herpes going on but you'd need seen to make sure it's nothing else worrisome. your campus clinic should be able to handle this for you.
