Stripper sucked my ear lobes and neck, kissed cheek. Herpes risk?

I am done with strip clubs.  Today was the last straw.  I got two lap dances from a female stripper, me fully clothed in shirt, jeans, and boxers and her in a gstring, lingerie pelvic cover, and with latex over her breasts. Over the course of two dances, she would kiss my cheeks ocassionally and she also sucked my my ear lobes a few times for about 10 seconds each time.  She also may have sucked my neck, though i do not see a hickey.  It was dark of course so i did not see her face for lessions or other signs of infection.  I did not kiss her, did not touch her except for a few brushes of her leg with my hands, no touching her genital or breast area. I put hand sanitizer on the areas she kissed and my hands probably 7 to 10 minutes later and washed my face and hands about 20 minutes later.  I am most fearful of getting herpes.  Is this a high risk exposure? Can the sucking and her saliva on the ears and neck be an issue for herpes, or any other std for that matter?  I could not stop shaking in the moments afterwards for a good few minutes as these thoughts raced through my mind.  I am done with strip clubs for good.  I just hope that this last experience at a club will not haunt me forever.  I have tested several times since May after another strip club exposure and both hsv1 and hsv2, as well as all other stds, have come back negative on the numerous tests thankfully.  Thank you in advance.

No need for testing after this event. You are just fine. The odds of contracting hsv in the areas she kissed or sucked is slim to none. Saliva is not an efficient way for hsv to spread especially in adults. The intact skin of thone areas is very resilient against infection and you were at no real risk at all
