People with herpes Help?

Question: People with herpes Help?
A tiny over a week ago I had a couple pimples on my buttocks. Here and there I’ll get pimples on my buttocks sometimes and when I do I just pick them and they disappear. There has never been any itchiness, swelling, rash, or discharge of ANY kind. I popped them and they always went away, thats it. Well this time, I popped a pimple and the next day my butt was covered in what looked to be a cluster of pimples it was red and painful. I Googled and read that sometimes popping pimples causes more acne, so I thought ok i’ll just rub one of my clearasil wipes on my butt and it’ll help. Well, the following day it was even more painful and red. The cluster had developed more “pimples” and some had even turned into blisters. So I thought, crap I infected them. I sprayed bactine on the area and left it alone. I went to the physicians the next day because the previous night the area was throbbing in a sting like pain and I knew I had to get this looked at. The doc looked and stated it absolutely didnt look like pimples anymore. He took a picture and took it upstairs to the dermatologist and when he came back down he told me the dermatologist told him it looked like herpes. I was shocked because I cant envision how in the hell I got herpes and on my buttocks of all places?? He stated he was nearly positive thats what it was, but he ordered me the herpes blood test to take and stated he would call with the results.

Its been a tiny over a week now. I’m devastated. I’ve looked at photos online of herpes and indeed my rash does look like herpes. I have been married for 2 1/2 years to the same man and we have been together for 3. He does not have herpes. I have never cheated on my husband. My husband has also been 100% truehearted to me. I read that herpes can lie dormant, but it still doesnt make sense to me. I have a weak immune system. It has been diminished for the last 4 years for unknown reasons. If I had it before, I HIGHLY doubt it would have stayed dormant for all of these years because as weak as my immune system is, it would have showed face immediately. I have had past sexual partners but I was never promiscuous at all. I was in one previous relationship where I didnt use endorsement which was like 4-5 years ago and he did not have herpes. How? It doesnt make ANY sense. An even weirder side effect I have been experiencing with this outbreak, itching on one side of my body. The rash is on my butt, but I have been itching on different places on my thigh away from the outbreak. No bumps/pimples where I itch. But it has turned red and swollen a bit, I’m guessing probably from the constant itching. When I was at the physicians he prescribed me Acyclovir 3x a day for 5 days. I completed my last dose last night. The sores on my butt are now nearly all scabbed over. How long is this gonna last? How could I have contracted herpes? And why did i get an outbreak on my buttocks? I have nothing on my genitals.
