Could I have herpes? This is scaring me :(

I have unprotected sex 2 days ago with someone who has herpes and now I have a few small white and red bumps on my buttocks. I don't have any other symptoms as of right now but I don't know if I should get tested yet because it might be too early for a accurate result. Please help me I'm freaking out!

From what I've read, it's almost unheard of to see symptoms this quickly. So good and bad news. Good: your symptoms are almost certainly unrelated to herpes bad: you'll have to wait 2-3 weeks to keep an eye out for blisters and burning during urination. From what i read typical incubation is 7-10 days pay exposure. So if no signs at 2 weeks things look good. Then get an igg test at 6 weeks and if neg get another at 3 months to verify
