Herpes in the pubic area

Here is my situation. I felt discomfort in my pubic region. I decided to trim and  then noticed redness and small bumps.  When I pop them there is a clear liquid.  the bumps are close to my hairs so I don't know.  The bumps are not very painful but the whole region where there is redness has discomfort.  I am really scared that it is herpes.  I had a fungal infection there earlier in the year but these little bumps seem like they could be herpes.  I have been with my girlfriend for almost a year.  Had a short break with her and slept with two girls using protection. I have trimmed the pubic region in the past.  I had some blood work and am waiting for the results.  My last test was in Feb of this year and I was negative for both.  That was about a month after I had sex with two girls using protection.  I saw two docs and one doc said the bumps being in one region could make it herpes.  The other doc said it could be follitcius or however you spell it.  If its herpes, is it common to start in the pubic region??  Can someone give me advice please.

herpes isn't the only thing that causes these symptoms but it certainly should be on the top of the list. if you need help with your test results or your gf's, just post them here.

They did a culture and blood work grace.  Im sure I have it.  The more I look at it the more it looks like herpes.  Redness with small blisters.  Nothing else can be mistaken for this.  I don't know how I can live with this.  Ill never have a relationship again.  I have to tell my girlfriend now.
