    Hey, sorry you're going through this 😦 I'm not qualified so can't say what it is, but are you sure they tested for herpes as part of the urine/blood test? Lots of tests say 'all' but include the most common 5 eg. Chlamydia, Ghonorrhea, Trich, HIV, Syphillis. Many don't include herpes. Also, if your exposure was leas than 4 months ago, your body may not have built up enough herpes antibodies to be detectable in your blood, causing the results to be negative if you were tested for herpes. I'll cross my fingers for you that your results remain negative when re-tested!

      im glad this is healing. how long have you had these bumps? herpes tests dont actually test for herpes, but the antibodies your body produces when you have the virus. if you havent had them very long. its very possible it isnt showing up in your system yet. but from seeing herpes on patients all the time, im extremely certain thats is the cause of these bumps.
