I think I have Genital Herpes.

Hello,

I am a heterosexual male but I did something very stupid on November 17, 2017. During the night of November 17, 2017 I met with a transgender person from the internet, and we played around. they jerked me off and I jerked them off for around 10 minutes. then we jerked our penis's simultaneously together for around 5 minutes. Anyways,  a couple day after I started feeling irritation in penis so I asked him if he has genital herpes and he said yes.

Anyways,  then around December 25th, I started feeling a very bad pain under my penis head on the inner skin. The inner skin since then has a very dark red spot that is around 1 cm length x width. The pain is a burning sensation on penis since then (so 2 months). Then around January 5th, I started developing a pain on my anus too, it is the inside of my butthole, and it hurts (same pain as penis), but it hurts very much when I sit down :/. I then one day looked at my butthole, and it is all red, kind of like the part under my penis head. It burns.

I also sometimes experience burning sensation in my groin and upper thighs, and sometimes I will experienced random pain spurts in my testicles for some reasons?

I am thinking it might be genital herpes, but I do not know. I have not had any classical "herpes blisters" or any of that. I have a big bump on my groin though, it looks like a swollen lymph node.

Anyways,
1) What are the chances of me having genital herpes? I went to doctors month ago and he thought it was some bacterial infection because of no blisters, so I took antibitoics, but no luck (symptoms still going on).
2)  If I do have genital herpes, is it possible I can make this pain go away? Primarily the pain under my penis head, and in my buttocks, it hurts very much all day long, and I am going on for the pain for about 5 weeks in a row now..

3) I am thinking of getting IGG blood test tomorrow for Genital herpes. 1 and 2. I do not think it is possible to get a culture swab if I do not have any blisters, am I correct? Or could they swab the red spot under my penis to see what is causing it?

TY

Just in lots of pain and I am young :/ 21 years old. Worst pain of my life whatever this is, and the penis pain has gone on for 2 months in a row everyday, and the buttocks pain around 4-5 weeks.

:/

The odds of contracting hsv from this is low. The symptoms you describe would be very unusual for herpes. In other words herpes just doesn't act like this. I'm not saying it's impossible just extremely unlikely.
You are correct on a culture test. No lesions would make the test unreliable. I would start with an igg type specific bloodtest. See if you can find out which type of herpes your partner has.

He said genital herpes 2. I am constantly in pain for 2 months now :/. I am a college student with busy life and this is definitely taking from my study time. :/ Will the medicine for herpes help my pain or will this pain last forever? I will get the IGG  test on monday for both HSV1 and HSV2.
Moreover, if I do have herpes, how do I afford the medicine? I am a middle class family, but I do not have 2000 dollars to spend a month on valtrex..:/. I do not work, I am a full time college student. My family does not have lots of money.
Herpes pain won't last for months especially when no sores have been present. You can go to the dr and get a perscription for antivirals to see if that works but I honestly don't suspect hsv is the cause
When you say you mutual masturbated, did you mean you rubbed your penises against each other or just masterbated each other at the same time?
rubbed penises against each other, intensively for 5 minutes. And right where my penis was rubbed a lot, the most friction area, is where I have had my red spot. I at first thought it was a friction burn but it never went away, and then the pain spread to my buttocks also.
And also sir, I have another predicament. SO basically, my dr. told me to go to the urgent care to get my rashes on genitals checked out, or I could spend 130 dollars on stdcheck.com to get a HSV 1 and 2 IGG test.  I just think if I went to the urgent care they would give me some other antibiotic. I have already been on cipro and smz-tmp 800 mg.
I would get an igg test for hsv2 only. You did not contract hsv1 from this exposure so the only concern you have is for hsv2.
Okay :/. Also, what is the conclusiveness for a HSV2 IGG test? I have seen 3 months , 4 months , even 6 months. IF by a chance do you have any source to tell me which one is conclusive, I see lots of misinformation on the internet.
12 weeks is the standard. Most people who contract hsv will be positive on an igg 4-6 weeks after exposure.

** I also have to add that my doctor one month ago prescribed me antibiotics that I took and completed. And he gave me a urinary test to check for bacteria in urine and CBC, and everything was fine.
