Risk of GHSV1 – Am I overthinking?

Hi! I’ve been overthinking a lot about this situation. February 8th 2020 I had an encounter with a woman who has HSV-1 in the genital area. She had HSV-1 for 5 or 6 years. All we did was dry hump and she took off her panties for me to finger her and then I hump her again but I had on my boxers briefs the whole time. My bare penis touched her stomach. I rubbed my penis against her butt for a few seconds and that was it. I only had one sexual partner before this happened and I haven’t had sex in 5 years before this happened. I even got tested after my first sexual partner back in 2015 and I was all clear. On February 12th I started to experience weird sensations like tingling, itching, and a bit aching arms and legs. I also get cold sores and I’ve getting them since I was a child and so that was way before I ever had sex. I also get cold sores 1-2 times every year. Mid January, I discovered this very small bump on my penis that has not changed nor got worse. The small bump has been there for a month. It's not February and it hasn't changed at all. It doesn't hurt when i touch it. Every other morning I wake up, my body would feel like sore but it’s not bad at all. I can tolerate it. I’ve been having really bad anxiety over this and I’ve been losing my mind and overthinking so much about this. I really need help. imageimageimageimage

    hiya, im in no way trained medically but ive done a bit of research on this and just wanted to put your mind at ease. i think its highly unlikely you have contracted herpes from this girl. the pictures dont look like typical herpes. Look up westover heights online and read the forum its fantastic source of info. also you have cold sores i think you would already have the antibodies?

      Yes i'm very familiar with with the forum and Terri Werren. I even asked her a few questions and she said the same thing. and yes i had cold sores all my life.
