Herpes?

Hi, I am an 18 year old male, had sex for the first time, 2 weeks later tip of my penis was red, some iritation on penis head and under foreskin (uncircumsized) but there were no blisters with pus. I went to the clinic and a doctor had a look and he thought it was herpes. So I've had an std test done including chlamydia, herpes, syphilis, gonorhea, hepititis and they all came back negative. What is this? Could it be balanitis or dermatitis? My doctor perscribed my valtrex for 10 days and i took it since he thought it was herpes. From then about a month has passed and the redness and all is gone, but i have had 2 occasions with discharge and now there are 2 small bumps on the inner side of my foreskin. they have no pus, they are a little darker than skin colour, and do not hurt. What could this be?

lol this is true, but these symptoms scared the crap out of me! I've had a healthy penis my whole life, then I have sex once and this happens...
Anyways thanks for the advice grace, I'll be sure to go back to the clinic on monday.

since you used a condom there wasn't any reason for most of the testing you had done!

monday call the clinic and go back to be seen again to have your new symptoms looked at again.

A newly acquired herpes infection won't show up on your blood tests yet.  

At this point , continue to follow up with your provider. Most of all your std testing was done too early too and will need repeated in a few months.

was it unprotected sex?
