Doubt herpes. Yeast?: This description doesn't sound at all like herpes. I would be more suspicious of a yeast (Candida) infection, especially if his red spots are on the head of the penis and he is uncircumcised. You both should see a doctor or clinic to check it out, preferably together.

It is difficult to make a diagnosis without an exam. Pl see a doc or Urologist if it does not go away in a week or so
