Fear of herpes

Hi,

4 months ago I had unprotected oral sex with CWS just for 1 min. I didnt see any cold sore on her lips etc.
On that time I never had an idea about std etc. But since few days I was reading on the internet about std's that made me very worried about std's.
My biggest concern about the genital herpes. since 4 months i never feel any symptoms etc..
I heard that some time people can have herpes without showing symptoms and I have this thing in my mind that it might be possible that after some time herpes symptoms can be appeared

What are the chances of getting herpes? and do I need herpes testing?

Thanks in Advance.

the risk of a std from receiving oral is very low in general. we still always recommend you only give and receive protected oral so you protect yourself and save yourself this sort of worrying!

you really don't need any testing for anything. you've had no symptoms. typically hsv1 is the herpes infection transmitted when you receive oral and it tends to present with very obvious symptoms when it occurs.
