what do you think

hello so im sort of new to all this stuff but my question is can you have multiple negative herpeselect test that were done 14 16 and 19 weeks after sexual encounter. i ask this because i found a suspicous bump that looked like a pimple on the shaft of my member and am a lil worried about it, the bump went awaybut it was painless bump a little pink with a dimple in the center. a doctor looked at it and didnt culture because of the neg test and he said no way thats herpes but im concerned because i read that a lot of people are misdiagnosed. he said it was just one bump by itself and herpes are clusters of blister and or sores so what do you think thank you.

Listen, I'm not a doctor but from what I've read, you should be fine. If you had negative tests at the 16 week point, then according to basically everything I've read, then you do not have it..try to relax - I think you're cool.
