Time exposure to herpes

Hello! I have a question regarding exposure to herpes. Early today I had oral sex with a hook-up. I sucked for a very brief moment (2-4 seconds) on the head of his penis before I had him put on a condom to give him a bj. After he came, he took off the condom and I noticed he had several blisters in the middle of his penis.

He of course denied it was herpes and said it was from masterbating but I'm pretty sure it is herpes based on how it looked and from pictures I have seen. I have a few questions: 1. Although he did not have blisters on the head of his penis, is it likely the virus was present at that location as well or just where the sores are located? 2. Is it true that in order to contract the virus, there has to be a sufficient amount the virus to transfer into my body?

I'm pretty sure my mouth stayed only on the head of his penis which was still roughly an inch away from the infection. But I'm worried that brief suck on the head exosed me greatly to it.

Most likely yes. That being said hsv2 doesn't really like the oral cavity and rarely infects it. Oral hsv2 has very few outbreaks and isn't  easily spread.

I get STD testing every three months that includes the herpes blood work and I've been negative. My worry is that I place my lips around his penis head while his outbreak was an inch away down the shaft. I'm wondering if he virus infected the entire penis during an outbreak even when blisters are on a different area.

Another question too is if I was in contact with the virus, what is the likely hood of actually acquiring the virus? Wouldn't the virus need to penetrate the skin to become infected?
