While I don't have a herpes problem, I did have a lot of trouble with soft tissue rubbing raw the first few years I was riding despite huge saddle cut outs.

Since you mentioned liking the rear of your Bontrager - you could try the Bontrager InForm RL WSD. It's the saddle I use on all my bikes. The 'dip' in the front is positioned just right that it makes a cutout unnecessary AND because there is no actual cut out, there are no extra edges to rub either. It's also nice and firm so there is not a lot of padding to break down or 'squish' into places it doesn't belong.

It's a seriously AWESOME saddle if it fits your anatomy.
