I am absolutely terrified does this look like herpes?

There hasn't been any itching or stinging, It only hurts if I touch the bumps/sores. They popped up about 4 days after I had unprotected sex. If this isn't herpes, what else could it be?? If this is herpes, I don't know what I'm going to do, I might kill myself I can't stop crying. image

      No I haven't experienced any flu like symptoms from this. However, I went to the doctor a couple days ago because there are ulcers in the back of my throat but he said they were just canker sores which is why I had a fever. Besides that, no other symptoms besides slight pain when I touch the sores. My mouth ulcers popped up about 4 days ago and these ones popped up today.
