worried for nothing, maybe?

4 nights ago I met a woman on the internet and then at a bar for the purpose of having sex. She was not a prostitute, but indicated she had been with many men. After drinking too much, she came back to my place. She performed oral sex on me briefly, without a condom. I performed oral sex on her, also briefly. We had very brief intercourse, maybe only a minute or two, with a condom. The condom never came off. It covered the shaft of my penis completely. We stopped because I could not maintain an erection due to the alcohol and condom. She left.
For some reason, I am always paranoid about contracting herpes, I think because I know people who have it. Every time I have sex with someone I don't know, no matter what precautions I take, with even the slightest itch or discomfort, I convince myself I've contracted herpes. (Prior tests were negative for genital herpes antibodies.) I have done so again after this recent encounter. Although there are no lesions on my genitals, no sores on or around my mouth, I cannot stop worrying, and have confined myself to my couch out of fear. How unfounded are my concerns? When can I stop worrying? What should I look for in the meantime?

People have serious issues here and you are in the wrong forum. Worried about getting herpes when you have absolutely nothing to worry about.
Its like asking a silly question "Can I get herpes just by looking at someone?". You have protected sex and that also for brief encounter. At most you can get oral herpes but that you can get from kissing you best friend as well.
You can look for a stable partner in the meantime.
I also hope you aren't suggesting to others that condoms are 100% effective for preventing the spread of genital herpes. The tone of your reply seems to say so.
