If not herpes, what was it?

Almost 2 years ago I experienced unprotected sex for the first time with a close friend of mine. She never had anything and we had both gone +2 years without intimacy before the sex. We performed oral on each other.

I haven't had any symptoms since June 2009, but when I DID:

The first occurrence started a month after the sex with:
- lips feeling like they are burning
- getting a blister on my lip
- scabbing over, along with a sore spot in the corner of my mouth
- sore taste buds on my tongue as well

The next occurrence was more mild with only a lip blister and soreness in the corner of my mouth.

It came up once more with the same mild symptoms but that time I noticed a couple of red sore spots on my penis. Which surprised me since it had been almost a year since I had sex with her.

The first doctor I went to just did a visual check of my mouth and penis and she said "Yep, herpes" and gave me a prescription for  Acyclovir, but by then I was in remission.

I wanted to know for sure so I had blood work done at "Planned Parenthood". They checked for both type-1 and type-2 herpes and said I had NO antibodies and was never exposed to herpes.

So if it wasn't herpes, what the heck was it?

*** I'VE HAD NO RECURRENCES SINCE JUNE 2009 ***

Can't say...maybe syphilis? If it's not that then I would not worry about it.
