Worried about herpes

I had a sexual encounter with a woman I do not know about 12 days ago. We were both drunk at the time. We did not have full intercourse. I put the condom on my penis but could not get erect enough to achieve penetration. I'm sure there was some skin on skin contact during the 4-5 minutes the encounter lasted. I did not notice any sores or lesions on her but have no idea of her sexual history. I have been worried sick since this happened and I have noticed some soreness in both my inner thighs and some itching or tingleing in my groin area. I have seen no lesions or bumps on my penis or testicles/groin area. I work outside 5 days a week in a very humid southern climate so I sweat alot and I use gold bond powder on my thighs and groin to keep from chaffing. I also lift and push and pull a lot of heavy equipment on a daily basis which could be the reason for the leg pain. I am so worried. It is all I can think about and it's driving me crazy. How concerned should I be about having herpes. Please Help.
Thanks.

Thanks Grace. I really appreciate the reply. I've been in a monogamous, but somewhat rocky relationship for a few years and I think I was letting my guilty conscience get the better of me. Thanks again.

this really was low risk and not worth any testing to be honest.
