Herpes? Oral sex only!

I have a new girl friend. She is the 2nd girl I've ever been intimate with. I have never had a cold sore or any signs or symptoms of anything down under. I'm a overly cautious individual when it comes to this kind of thing, but I may still have contracted something.
Facts:
-According to her, she seldomly gets cold sores, but has before in the past when she gets stressed
-We have kissed
-I've given her oral
-She's given me oral
-She has no signs or symptoms of anything at all in either location
-I have 2-4 small dots on penis head and pulled back fore skin. These are 2 dimensional; that is to say you cannot feel them to the touch. They do not hurt, and if I were blind I wouldn't know they even existed.
-The red blemish-like "things" disappear from one spot and appear in new ones.
-I've had 2 potential pimples on my scrotum since I took note of this about 2.5 weeks ago. Perhaps these were blisters? I popped one (without watching) like I normally would one down there and there was liquid inside, quite runny,/oily and ofcourse mixed with blood. No more outside of penis head/foreskin since then
-I masturbate a ridiculous amount daily.
-She has had something wrong with her ears for all summer (at least 4 months) and whatever it is is effecting her Eustachian tubes. Her ears pop "in and out" all the time, and she's taken 2 different kind of nasal sprays for it but to no avail
-Just today while masturbatin I had a burning feeling half way through and tonight I had a sticky clear drop of goop at the tip of my penis,
My doctor is on friggin vacation so no diagnosis for quite some time and in the mean time I'm worrying and restraining from any further interaction with her.

Q: Is this herpes?
Did I get herpes from her unsymptomatic cold sore virus?

First of all calm down.  Secondly, stop examining your penis.  Thirdly, I am told herpes blisters are painful so if you don't notice they are there then they are probably not herpes.

But yes if she has had cold sores that means she carries the virus, so do 50% of americans under the age of 40. 80% above the age of 50 and very, very few of us will make it to the grave without contracting it.  80% of the people that have it will never know that they have it.

So there is a 50/50 chance that you had it before you even met her.  If your test comes back positive it means you have it but you may have had it for some time.

I have read that in some European countries 100% of the population has HSV1.  

I have done a lot of research and understand that it is extremely rare that herpes causes any kind of health threat.
