I'm worried sick :/ genital herpes?

About 2 weeks ago I have an encounter with a female with a unknown status, she performed oral on me and I was protected,  then we had intercourse protected. Its been 15 days and I have a cold sore on my lip, can this be a symptom of genital herpes or did all this stress cause my cold sore to appear? I wouldn't doubt that I have hsv 1 cause I get cold sores on my lips before ever since I was little.

Looking at the facts of your situation, HSV2 on your lip would be highly implausible seeing as you did not perform oral sex on her. But, when in doubt, to ease your mind, get to the doc.

Having protected oral is no risk at all and the risk of contracting hsv from a protected vaginal one time affair where she did not have any genital sores at the time would be close to zero chance.

Thanks for your reply Life ,
May I ask if I've never perform oral on the female is there any other way i couldve gotten oral hsv2? If I did somehow contracted hsv 2 genitally is it possible that I might have spread it to my bottom lip ? Its just making me feel uneasy that the cold sore on my lip appeared 15 days later. :/ ?
