IS this a possible Herpes?

Dear All,
I had been to a gay bar on Nov.2,2013, and give a old man an oral sex.(I am a married with a woman for several years, and this is my first and only time to give a oral sex to a man).
After that I am very worried the HIV and STD. So I went the clinic to test my hiv after 41 days, ti came back negative.
Now I am now not very much worried about the HIV, because I suppose it is not easy to contract HIV by oral.
and After this exposure two weeks , I did a swab, and they checked my Gonorrhea and Chlamydiae, both of them are negative.

But a week ago, I am aware there is a bump on the left side of the root of my tongue, close to the throat. It is not big, and not painful. But you feel some thing is there and when you swallow something, you can feel it more clearly.
So My question what might this be? Is there any relationship with my give an oral ( and I do not know the guy's health status). I am very much worried whether it is a herpes , or HPV or any other STDs. and there is no blood in it if you touch it. I just feel there is a feeling of alien thing there. I went to doctor, he told me this is a inflammation, and did not tell me it is related the oral or not. And he a me week's pill of penicillin and said it will get better after one week's treatment.

So my question, as i described, what kind of test should I take ? and How long should I wait for the test?
Is any possibility for me to get contracted with the STD, like my exposure.

Thank you in advance!

Hi, HPV warts are diagnosed only by a doctors visiual as  there is no test to confimr HPV but if he did not have any penis wart at the time you can pretty much rule that out.
As for herpes, i really doesnot appear herpes related first for the location and second is that a herpes sore is a blister that opens and spreads the virus to the immediate surrounding area and in the throat would be quite painful as would be an open sore.
You might want to have it swabbed or even a blood test but the blood test will not say where if positive.
