Herpes from receiving oral sex?

About a week and a half ago I had an encounter with a female. We ended up being intimate and I only fingered her while she performed oral sex on me over the course of maybe 20-30 minutes. Every post I've seen from Drs. HHH and EWH basically confirm that HSV 2 is exceedingly difficult to spread from oral to genital transmission. Am I worrying over nothing? I have already tested positive for HSV 1 in the past as have many others so that's not an issue. I know it's obviously too early to be tested but what would be the earliest I could reliably do so and be able to trust that my result is conclusive?

At my girlfriend's request, I resumed oral sex on her, is she at any risk for developing symptoms based on what you already know about my situation? We have only done this one time.

Thank you for everything...in the event that anything changes I will probably post something here though I realize you're probably tired of me at this point. Anxiety sucks.

So far my only "symptoms" seem to be the groin issue I mentioned before and some slight numbness in my leg and arms along with some weakness. I still worry that I might test positive but I'm trying to put your words into perspective. I have tested negative for HSV-2 at the baseline and 4 week periods and will test again at 8 weeks and 12 weeks. After twelve weeks am I ok to let this go? I worry about infecting my girlfriend who I reconciled with last week.

I'm still having groin/anal itching and prickliness. Would something like that continue on this long if this was a primary HSV outbreak?

Would genital HSV-1 manifest like this?
