Brief Answer:
Herpes, or some other STI is likely.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for updating a picture. I was able to view the sores that you talking about. XXXXXXX yes, these are sores caused by STI ( sexually transmitted infection ). Even if you saw nothing on your partner's penis, he could be harbouring some infection, which is not always visible externally.

Did you have any itching before the sores appeared?

I realize you are waiting for infection test results. I would also test for herpes.
That is always the first possibility to be ruled out. Next, they could be caused by bacteria ( Chancroid) or some other STI.

SInce you are awaiting results, it is best not to initiate treatment till you have reports in hand.
Avoid touching / handling the area.
Refrain from sex or have protected sex till the diagnosis is confirmed.
Let me know how the reports come up.
But yes, please get tested specifically for herpes.

Take care.

Take care.

Detailed Answer:
YEs, please get yourself tested for herpes.
The test is most reliable when taken while you are having open sores, that is why I insist.
You can keep me posted anytime.
Wish you luck !
