7 weeks is much too long for onset of symptoms of newly acquired herpes, so your doctor probably is right. Neither herpes nor folliculitis should cause continued "burning" this long; maybe psychological if you're still anxious about herpes or a sexual decision you regret. See your doctor if it continues.
