Protected vaginal sex herpes scare

[Mmmm26]

On November 21 I had protected vaginal sex with my partner. Which make it the 2nd time this year and also eve. I've been tested for all stds which came back negative. My partner was tested for all stds except hsv, because her doctor said it's not routine. She has never experienced and outbreak. This morning I have found a bump on the base of penis which feels like a ingrown hair bump it has no head or break in the skin and is under hair. I do get them regularly but very rarely at the base of my penis. I had the condom fully on but the bump is right where the condom would stop (the crease where the penis and pelvic meets). Should I be worried and when should I try to test and how. Swab (if it opens) and when should I wait to take blood test again?

You can have it swabbed but really doenst appear as herpes. The best way to confirm your herpes status is a blood test

Thanks a lot didn't think of the irritation of the condom. Now my ingrown hairs or possibly cyst sometimes break from movements. Never sores though or ulcers. If this does that could I get it swabbed or does it have to be a larger opening for that? Never any puss or other fluids when that occurs either.

Hi and welcome to the forum. Only testing would confirm if you in fact have herpes but does what your describing appear as a herpes outbreak? No it does not.
The risk for contracting herpes from very infrequent acts where she did not have any vaginal sores and using a condom, would be close to zero. Herpes are not under the skin irritations but open topical sores or razor type cuts.
Also pubic hair can act as a barrier.
It would appear thats it is an inflamed hair folicale from the irritation of the condom as you mention it was right at the ending area.
See a doctor if your concerned.
