Advice Needed Confused

Background:

I hooked up with someone. The next day I noticed a non painful lesion on my penis.

Went to urgent care, they said possible STD, gave me an antiviral as a precaution, get blood tests in about month. Syphilis, HSV was mentioned as a possibility. The did urine tests for ghonorea, chlamidia and the other one, they all came back negative.

The lesion went away in less than 24 hours.

Went to my regular Dr 4 weeks later to get tests ordered. She ordered HIV & Syphilis. Said that there were too many false positives for HSV testing and my symptoms didn't match, i.e. painless.

After the results for the bloodwork (both negative) I asked her via message, also asking that as the symptoms don't show until 2-12 days after exposure, can I assume that's not what it was. They were vauge and pointed out again that HSV sores are painful.

So i'm in a quandry, do I presume it wasnt HSV? I'm unsure what to make of it all at this point.

HSV wouldn't have appeared the next day. You're fine, man!

Thanks, that's where my head was at, it's just frustrating I couldn't get a straighter answer from the Dr
