Protected sex but had herpes

5 weeks ago I was in Hong Kong and on a drunken night visited a massage parlor.  I had brief anal and then vaginal sex with a massage worker while using a condom.  No breakage or slippage to my knowledge.  I did have a herpes sore above the base of my penis in the pubic hair area but I don't think it came into contact with any vaginal juices.  
I have not had a fever or swollen nodes.
I have been very fatigued (possibly just anxiety) and caught what I think was a cold on the way home that turned into a chest cold.  It lasted about 2 weeks.
I'm concerned about possible exposure.  Does anyone have any words of advice.
Thanks
