Possible herpes through mutual masturbation?

[Jack attck]

I participated in some mutual masturbation on December 4 I put my fingers inside her vagina quite a few times and she touched my penis for about two seconds. In between the time of me fingering her i washed my hands in salt water and never touched my penis but the last time I fingered her im not sure if I touched my penis right after fingering her but I’m not sure I did. I washed my hands in salt Water again that time and didn’t touch any part of my body until I got home and properly washed my hands. The next day which is dec 5 my penis felt quite uncomfortable and thats when the burning when when I pee started on December 5 that night. Later on that week I experienced my pelvis burning, buttocks felt like it was burning also frequent urination, dehydration and my penis felt like it was burning also. I went to the doctor on dec 11. They examined me and asked about my symptoms and gave me some azithromycin and metronidazole. I took it for a day felt better and was prescribed some antibiotics for about 5 days and felt totally better. I felt completely normal after the 5 days of antibiotics. Until January 2 I caught the flu and had a high temperature a bad cough, head congestion stuffy nose, loss of appetite and was sick for a week. During that week I noticed 2 bumps in my pubic area it didn’t blister up wasn’t painful unless you touched wasn’t full of pus or looked like a herpes lesion at all neither were they clustered. They were completely isolated from one another one on the top right of my Pubic area and the next on my lower left of my Pubic area, on January 9 the burning pain while urinating came back.I haven’t shaved in about 3 months so I dont think it’s an ingrown. I went to the doctor on Jan 9 and she looked at the bump and said it don’t look like herpes at all and the bump was too healed to take a swab for herpes. I took a blood test Jan 9 and now awaiting my results. Should I be worried?
and if not hsv2 what else could it be?. ( havent had sex in 3 months)

Points that I missed.
1.I got tested for trich, chlamydia, gonorreah, uti on December 11, and everything came back negative and somehow the antibiotics still worked.

2. I also felt groin pain during January and a penile burning sensation. But it isn’t constant. It comes and goes which is weird to me

Your experience just didn’t present a risk for the acquisition of HSV 2. Whatever was causing your pain with urination, it wasn’t herpes. Your clinicians told you that the bumps didn’t look like herpes which is good because if it was herpes, it didn’t come from this encounter.
I’m so sorry that you took the blood antibody test because it can have many false positive results – perhaps 50% of the low positives are false positives, or even more.
there is nothing that you did that would but you at risk for any sexually transmitted infection.

I got my igg test back and was a low positive with 1.24 could it be wrong? My doctor was quite surprised and said I should retest 2 weeks later.

And my hsv1 score was about 46 can you tell me if this may have been a false positive. Cause I can’t believe that I caught this after mutual masturbation when you and multiple herpes experts said I could not. I feel like my life is ruined. I haven’t told my partner yet and I feel devastated. My doctor was surprised and told me to do a pcr test just in case it may be a false positive

I think your HSV 2 test could very well be a false positive, particularly since you have such a high HSV 1 index value. your life it not ruined! A PCR test is not appropriate unless you have a lesion to swab test. A blood PCR is completely inappropriate – herpes is not in blood. You need a herpes western blot to clarify this result. That is the CDC recommendation
