Herpes from oral sex

Herpes from oral sex

I recieved oral from a guy.  Just his lips on the head of my penis.  8 days later the head of my penis tingled for 2 days.  On the 3rd day the tingling stopped.  It is now 10 days since the event.  There is no pain or discomfort when I urinate and I cannot see any strange spots on my penis.  How likely is it that I have caught herpes from this encounter?

Thanks Grace
No never been tested for herpes and never had cold sores.

What is the time frame of the symptoms?
1 ...At 8 days,  the head of my penis tingled for 2 days.
2 ...No more symptoms after that.  Now at 13th day without symptoms.
3...No redness, spots etc:
4...Does the rash, spots etc: come directly after the tingling or can there be a lull of a few symptom-less days between them?

Tingling alone is not a herpes symptom. You can read this post of Dr. Handsfield's about it:

http://www.medhelp.org/posts/STDs/oral-sex-with-tingling-penis/show/1411732

Most symptoms appear 2-20 days post encounter. It takes more than brief "lips on a penis"  The virus needs heat/friction, sort of "massaged" into the skin. That aside, a one time encounter is incredibly low risk (assuming he even had oral herpes and was contagious at the time). I'd turn off the crotch watch.
