Is this rare for herpes?

I had sex with a woman about 6 weeks ago and now she thinks she has herpes and from pictures I have seen the photos and it does look like that's the case (I had a bump on my penish but very unlike a blister or herpes symptoms).

She started the breakout about 20 days after. Now it's been just over two weeks since the first sores started showing and she has now said she has sores that have developed under her armpit, shoulder, belly and face (don't think they are around the mouth).

Is this a case of her accidently spreading her herpes? Or could it be something else?
Thanks

If you had a sexual intercourse with someone that has herpes, there shouldn't be any problem, unless that person had the lesions right in the moment of having sex. Your skin has to contact those lesions to get the infection.

You should test 3 months after the last encounter. Your result will be accurate.
