Just trying to get an idea for the future

These are photos Ive taken over the past few months. Ive seen doctors & they say that it doesnt look like herpes & that without open sores to take a swap its essentially useless since I got cold sores as a kid. But Im pretty sure the last person I slept with (in December) had herpes. I didnt realize til after we had sex but it looked like he had an ulcer on his penis. I questioned him about it & he brushed it off acting like it was NBD. I havent been dating because of such a fear of giving someone an STI/STD with or without knowing about it. I got a screening done without herpes & I came up negative. I feel like I cant go back to just a normal dating life until I know I didnt contract something from him & asking him is not an option, Ive had him blocked for months & I doubt he'd tell me the truth. The last photo was a bump I had gotten on my leg. imageimageimageimage

    not a doctor but in my limited experience most of that looks like unremarkable skin things like ingrown hairs or inflamed follicles. if your dr says it's not hsv and your panels come back clear, what can you do?
