Thanks I've read that herpes can show up whenever but I have no blisters or anything below. Do you think I'm in the clear now of any std? Especially herpes?

That's way too late to be any relation to to the episode you describe. Remember 99% of the time the flu is just the flu.

You're fine. Odds of transmission were exceptionally low and I'd suggest non existent now given no outbreak.

How are u it's now 9 days and no symptoms of any blister on my genital area. I am having  itchiness in my pewbic area. U think that just from still thinking about it? I am so scared still and I really just want to get back on track and not be worrying about this? What's my chances now of having it at 9 days? Sorry for all the questions this site is the only thing I can turn to....

No I don't think you have any elevated risk. She probably has HSV1 in any event... She may be a bigger risk to you than the CSW ever was!

Practically zero, 1 in many thousands as a chance. Unless you have blisters there's the very strong possibility that the symptoms are caused by something else. You're fine.

Yes it is a good sign.

Do you get oral cold sores?

The proportion of people with oral HSV1 is uniform across say CSW and other females. Why are you more worried about this episode?
