Do I have herpes if I have white bumps inside my mouth?

So the incident was a month ago and I was at the park with my friends at school (btw im 14) he asked us if we wanted some of his drink and at the time I wasn’t worrying about anything. Before he served us he drank some... we didn’t drink directly from the drink he served us in individual clean cups. I haven’t had any sores or anything but I do have like these white bumps inside my mouth they aren’t red or anything and whenever I get my allergy shots every Tuesday my mouth and lips get itchy. I went to the doctor about two weeks after it happened and I had a blood test taken nothing came up but I’m still skeptical I even don’t let my mom drink from me in fear that she might catch something... I told her and now she thinks I’m kissing boys and whatnot but I haven’t even had my first kiss yet.

Herpes is outside your mouth and not inside.  When you have sores or bumps inside your mouth, they are canker sores which are different than a herpes simplex 1 lesion.  Herpes simplex 1 is very common and the statistic is something like 80% of the population has it.  What is the sign of it is the fever blister thing on the lip.  You see that . . . don't make out with that person!  So, you should move on from the herpes fear at this time.  If you find yourself worried a lot about things, tell your mom.  You may have anxiety that can get worse and will spill over to other stuff.
