A request for information

I was trying to ask the doctors this question but because it costs I am not able to pay it just yet. I went out one night with guy to try something different. We just met on an internet forum for bi curious guys. We ended up giving each other oral sex. We needless to say did it in the dark but I didn't see anything on the guy.  I have read everyone say that oral sex is not much to worry about for Herpes but I can't help but wonder.  I can't get a hold of the guy as he was visiting and no number.  

I was talking to a co-worker of mine who mentioned that he had genital herpes which he got from oral sex.  So I raced to the internet and the web pages couldn't load fast enough.  This was like a week into things.  I checked myself as often as I went to the bathroom.  I ended up testing and seeing a doctor any time a bump would come who told me they were not herpes and really the risk were low echoing what others have said to me. I didn't believe his high dollar advice and decided to be tested.  I tested after reading this site and others at 4 weeks and was negative.  I tested at 8 weeks and was negative again. I tested at 12 weeks and was negative again.  I forgot everything until one day I had this itch and I got a mirror checked myself and spaced out about an inch from each other I noticed these bumps they were little bit bigger then a pimple and they were kind of in a line spread out.  They looked red and kind of shinny white type looking head to them I couldn't get them to pop and freaked out.  I went to the doctor that same day who was looking after the last 6 months said that it was more likely a pimple or infected hair folicules. Problem I had was they are on the inside of my leg.  For my sanity and my begging he retested me.  They switched labs from Quest D to LabCorp and the test results took a long time to get back because they sent my results to the wrong doctor. They read over the phone it was an igg test and it was negative. The doctor explained to me if I come back to him about Herpes again he will not see me as a patient any further. My question to him was do I trust the test to which he hung up on me. Here I am wanting to get the best information.  I have the test results from the last tests other than last weeks test results. They all say <0.99 Negative for HSV-1 HSV-2.  What do I do??????????

you've spent a lot of time and money on testing you never needed. if you need more ways to spend your money, honestly I can give you a few bills to take care of :)

your anxiety about this is the issue, not your risk for herpes. you had no symptoms. really was no reason to test like you have.

if you can't start believing what your providers are telling you, please seek out professional counseling or therapy to work through whatever the underlying issues are that aren't letting you let go of the risk of herpes from oral sex.

in the future, always best to give and receive protected oral sex when you aren't aware of a partners std status for your own protection and to reduce your reason to worry when you have random encounters.

The doctor is right. Just because of notice pimples anywhere in your groin doesnt mean you have herpes. He tested you out and you were negative then you should take his advice on this and move on.
Worse to worse case even if you have herpes there is not cure for it. It comes and goes on its own. But this is just for your information.
