That's a lot of what ifs, and you are letting your anxiety take you away.  There is a blood test for herpes- a type specific IgG blood test - but it won't be conclusive for 4 months.

You would have noticed if a condom broke.  It either would have burst at the top or ripped at the sides - its not something you can miss.

What would he have infected you with through a condom?  Don't let your anxiety get carried away, ok?

No, I'd doubt its herpes, and I'd wonder if you have had a prostate exam.  Sometimes, inflammation in the prostate can cause strange sensations in the tip of the penis.
