6 months Herpes risk?!?!

Hi it has been 6 months since my first exposure and 2 months since the last exposure but I am still stressing over whether I have herpes or not. The first incident was back in October of 2015. I received  protected oral sex from an escort but I wore a condom throughout the whole experience. I only received oral sex and there was no sexual intercourse at all. She did however sit on top of my penis for a few minutes but the penis was never inserted into the vagina. The penis was just bent over to the side and she sat on the side of the shaft. During this time the condom was always on. The oral sex lasted only about 1-2 minutes and she sat on the side of my shaft for about a minute. The 2nd exposure did not even last a minute. The escort was about to put the condom on with her mouth but I stopped her right away. She may have made slight contact with my penis but it was probably only a second. I told her I did not want to do this and left.

I have been worrying about getting either hsv-1 or hsv-2 from both of these experiences. I did receive a bit of butt and leg pain after the first experience. It was about one week after and 3 months after the 1st experience. It felt a little like nerve pain. There were no other symptoms. I had no pain, blisters, no swollen lymph nodes, no fever, or flu like symptoms. I did try to get a herpes specific igG blood test for both hsv1 and hsv2 from the doctor, but he said it was unneccesary without any symptoms or blisters. Also he told me that I most likely did not get herpes and that I was worrying too much

The following are my questions

a) could I have caught hsv1 o hsv2 from either of these experiences
b) does sitting on my penis shaft increase my chances of getting herepes even with a condom on
c) can putting a condom on with the mouth increase my chances of getting herpes
d) do my symptoms suggest herpes
e) do you think testing is required

Okay first let me make a wuick statement about your exposures that will help with the questions. First congratulations on your use of condoms as they are very effective when used correctly.
The exposures you explain are no risk exposures. You absolutely did not contract hsv fro either incident.
A no
B. No. Hsv needs friction to be nassaged into the skin.
C.again naybe in theory but real world. No
D.absolutely not
E.testing is not necessary but it may ease your mind

Hsv is not super contagious like people think. Again you had a no risk exposure so please breathe easy.
Hope this helps.

Thanks for the help. The only reason why I have been stressing about this is because I have heard that many times herpes can be asymptomatic and that it could show up months or years later without symptoms. Also I might be stressing because of all of the reading I've been doing online which I know isn't helping in some ways. I've tried seeing a couple of doctors to get a test done but they said that I don't need it without obvious lesions or symptoms. They told me not to worry and I guess I should listen to them since you are also saying that it is a no risk exposure. Thank you once again
