Unprotected oral sex, scared of HSV1

Hello, I recently had a sexual encounter without knowing my partners status. Protected vaginal and unprotected oral. I'm really worried about getting HSV1. It's been a week and I haven't felt pain or icing yet. Although I have been feeling pain in my right check of my bottom. What are the chances of getting hsv1? Please help :(

Thank you leftundone your help is greatly appreciated. My new posts keep getting deleted, so if it's OK I'll ask on this thread. I had unprotected oral sex with my ex and afterwards the tip of my penis was in pain and still hurts to the touch. No redness no itching. Is this the beginning of prodrome? It's been 8 days since possible exposure

Prodrome is an indication of a pending outbreak past the primary outbreak. It's the sensation of the virus moving along the nerve path back to the surface. You wouldn't get prodrome with an initial outbreak. First thing you would notice is lesions forming. Followed by possible flu symptoms. These include fever, body aches and swollen groin lymph nodes.

Yes, your risk is extremely low. I'm sure you would've noticed an open cold sore on her lip. You're not even sure she has hsv1.
Let's assume she does. Without an open sore at the time of the oral sex your odds are extremely low. Not zero but extremely low. Like I said, doesn't warrant much concern.

My risk is low? Is it because there were no visible sores? Blisters? She gave me oral for quite awhile and it was kind of rough

Your odds are extremely low. So low it doesn't warrant much concern. Hsv1 testing is spotty at best. The igg bloodtest misses up to 30% of infections. If you don't have an obvious outbreak within 14 days from the date of exposure then you can be pretty confident you're fine
