No, such symptoms are not at all suggestive of herpes; and 24-36 hours after sex is too soon for any infection. It must have been physical or chemical irritation. Taken together, not having the right symptoms plus your negative test results is virtually 100% proof you don't have genital herpes.

Every test has false positives and false negatives. These symptoms are non specific and can occur with many conditions. so the chances in this scenario are near 0
