Most likely your positive HSV blood test has nothing to do with this sexual exposure. Ask a new question with the details of your positive HSV blood test (i.e. the numerical results). Half of all people test positive for HSV1; and most weakly positive HSV2 results are false. Herpes doesn't cause "red bumps" that come and go every few days. Yeast (candida) might be possible, esp. if uncircumcised.
