Worried need a Doctors opinion hsv-1 or something else

I had unprotected sex with a girl in December of 08 and i had an active cold sore on the corner of my lip.  I performed Oral sex on the girl that night and in the morning has intercourse with the girl i am concerned that i may have somehow transmitted the hsv-1 from my lip to the girls then back to my genitals during intercourse.

I talked to the girl a while after and she told me she was clean and never had any symptoms of anything
However after that night 2 days later i started experiancing burning with urination, a clear discharge, and a scaly rash under my forskin and a little bit on the glands.  the rash lasted for over 4 months however it became less red.  

I have seen 2 urologists
a dermatologist
also 4 other doctors and none of them said it was herpes

Also i have been tested 3 times and all things were negative except hsv1 however i have had coldsores on my lip as long as i can remember.


1. Is it possible i could have infected myself genitally

2. would it appear on my genitals the same way it does orally considering it would be the same strand.  Orally it looks like the basic description but genitally it doesnt look the same its just a red rash.

I been dealing with this since then and the rash is still present under forskin and the clear discharge is still there however not much burning

Does your GF know you have hsv-1?  She needs to if not, because it is possible to give her genital herpes even though you don't have an outbreak due to viral shedding.

I was tested for everything three times and everything was negative except the hsv-1 however i have had cold sores on the corner of my lip as long as i can remember.  My concern is that i somehow trasmited the hSV-1 to the girl when i performed oral on her then back to myself on my genitals somehow.  I know that it is unlikley because of Antibodies but i was wondering if that was possible.  Also the coldsore on my lip shows up and looks like the typical description of hsv-1 with little fluid filled blisters that scab over.  The symptoms on my genitals though are just a scaly red rash under my foreskin and a couple red dots on the glands of my penis.  Also a clear discharge that looks like pre-*** and it burns occasionaly when i urinate.  I have been dealing with some form of discomfort non stop since december 08 and i need an answer in fear of transfering something to my GF

Your questions would be better answered in the herpes forum.  But seriously, after 3 blood tests, and several different medical professionals, why do you not see that you do not have genital herpes?  And just to let you know, it is suspected that most of the new cases of genital herpes are from persons who have hsv-1 giving oral sex.
