From about June to August of this year, I had protected oral and intercourse with 7 CSWs, 4 of them were in one night, the intercourse lasted around 30 minutes on average and was mostly in the missionary position. I’m concerned because of the genital/pubic area rubbing of that position. I also had a one night stand that was protected but the girl convinced me to remove the condom because she said she had been tested (wasn’t thinking about hsv at the time). I had intercourse without the condom for less than 5 minutes because I didn’t feel comfortable with how she convinced me. 

I don’t believe I’ve had any symptoms, the closest thing was I got what seemed like jock itch a few days after the one night stand (last sexual activity I’ve had this year) where the area (crease) between my thighs and pubic area was really itchy, red, and dry (skin looked lighter than normal). I shaved the area when it started getting itchy, then I think I got razor bumps because a day after shaving I had small hard bumps where I shaved. I also had swollen tender lymph nodes for a couple days. The itchiness stopped within a week. Can hsv2 look like ingrown hairs? Like just a lump under the skin?

I would like to know an experts opinion on the risk levels of my actions. I feel like I put myself at a moderate risk of contracting hsv 2.  I’m really concerned because I am about to enter a new relationship. I’ve been tested for everything else and I am negative. I’ll get tested to put my mind at ease, but I want to know which is more likely so I can mentally prepare myself.
