10 days and no sores. Do I have herpes?
I am a hetero male and I made a huge mistake 10 days ago. I kissed (no tongue) a sex worker for 30 seconds, then received unprotected oral for about 2 minutes. After, I noticed a spot/sore on her cheek, near the side of her mouth, covered with makeup. Probably herpes. I washed my face and genitals straight away
No symptoms other than a cold, post flying. I am VERY scared of infecting my partner
I am going for a full test, too soon for herpes?
Should I take antivirals for 4 months until I can take a herpes blood test? Side effects?
What are the odds I am ok?

What are the odds I am ok?
The odds are extremely high that your ok. No lesions at ten days is a good sign as hsv1 usually won't be asymptomatic. Testing now is way to soon. You need to wait 12 weeks. 8 weeks is a good indicator but not conclusive.
Do not take antivirals. Doing so can delay testing and all drugs have potential side effects.
Do you ever get cold sores?
I would test for hsv with an igg blood test now so you have a baseline. You may have hsv1 and not know it. That is common.
