herpes risk

I am a male and received a handjob from a stripper 6 days ago. She used saliva to lubricate. I have had hsv 1 since I was young. She had no visible sores, but I don't know her history. Am I at risk for getting hsv 2, or genital hsv 1?

Also just to add more info for you, oral HSV-2 is very un common.  If it does occur it is usual in men who have sex with other men.

HSV isn't transmitted trough salava.  Only rubbing of the infected site.  If she gave you oral then rubbing would be taking place.  Since there was no oral involved, you will be fine.
