Herpes from Oral Sex and Mutual Masterbating(masturbating)

I am a male, and recently had an encounter with a female prostitiute.  She gave me oral sex while I was wearing a condom, and she also gave me a hand job while I was not wearing a condom.  I used my bare finger to touch and mutually masterbate her vagina (no deep penetration).  We also repeatedly kissed each other while hugging naked, and I do not believe at anytime my penis touched her vagina area without me wearing a condom.  Immediately after our encounter, I took a shower and the hand I used to touch her vagina touched my penis.

I know that the risk of me contracting HIV is very low, but was are my risks of catching genital herpes?  I did not notice any outbreak around her vagina area or mouth, but am nonetheless concerned.

Your risk of getting herpes in this situation is non-existent.  You were very careful and very observant of safer sexual practices.  You used a lot of restraint and managed to keep your head about you at all times during this encounter.  Good for you!  You can put your worries aside now.
