I Was Told That I Had Herpes And I Have Had Somthing Similar To Outbreaks Before But Nothing Even Close To What I Have Read About Or Seen, In Fact They Look Like Razor Bumps Or Me Being Alergic To A Certain Condom, They Are Not Blisters, They Dont Pop, And They Stay For A Day 3 At The Most, And I Have Had Sex In The Past And Recently Without Protection And None Of My Partners Have Contracted Herpes, So Is It Possible That The Doctors Made A Istake And I Have Something Else Wrong With Me?

How were you told/tested? A swab culture or a blood test?
Tests can be wrong by the lab or misread. But you could have it and have no or very mild symptoms. Every person is different.

Never trust a visual exam as proof that you have or do not have herpes. A doctor's visual diagnosis is wrong, either way, 30% of the time.

Get yourself blood tested, with an IgG type specific bloodtest, Herpes Select is the most common brand.
