This doesn't sound at all like herpes. You probably have a chemical injury from the spermicide plus jock itch. The two are not related. And whether your partner has had a yeast infection (or might be carrying yeasts in her vagina, as most women do from time to time) also is irrelevant; jock itch is caused by an entirely different fungus than vaginal yeasts.
If your partner has genital herpes (or asymptomatic HSV-2 infection), consistent condom use will reduce but not entirely eliminate the chance of transmission. If she doesn't have HSV-2, there obviously is no risk with or without condoms.

I'd like to add it feels again like it's starting to burn when I pee. But not serious yet, it could be anxiety. Can you get infected with Herpes in your Urethra even if you use a condom? Could it be something else like a prostate problem or something like that?
Doc I had quick question. How long could a male carry Chlamydia without showing any symptoms? The reason I ask is because I had unprotected vaginal sex for about 30 seconds and was fine until a year or more later I started having symptoms of what I believe to be NGU. Is this possible?
You probably can't catch herpes in the urethra while wearing a condom. But see a health care provider and get it checked out.
The maximum duration men can carry chlamydia hasn't been studied, but probably a few months. In women, it can be 4 years or longer. Hwever, chlamydia won't cause symptoms after carrying it that long; if you have NGU symptoms, you acquired NGU within the preceding 2-3 weeks.
