Is this genital or oral herpes or neither?

So, I was recently with someone that told me they had genital herpes. We were safe and she was on suppressive therapy. Unfortunately, I started showing some signs of herpes; malaise, fatigue, nerve issues, photophobia. I did not have any lesions. I took the IGG blood test (this was 4 months after last sexual encounter) and my oral was 15.5 and genital was 1.1. (I have always know I have oral). I am going today to get the Western Blot since my HSV2 was only 1.1. I now have been noticing about once a week for the past few weeks red dots on my buttocks. I have uploaded some pictures. Is this consistent with herpes?
