do i have herpes type II

I had sex with a stripper first oral and she finished with vaginal for roughly 30 seconds during this time the condom came off. Since then I had one episode of less than 30 minutes of tingling in my penis. I have also noticed a slight burning sensation on the outside of my penis. It seems to be in isolated spots though not all over. I have noticed one small red pimple; not white or pus filled, on the side of my penis head, I have not noticed any sores; painful urination etc.
This too place roughly 17 days ago. I had a STD panel done all came back negative except the Herpes Type 1. Which showed a score of 3.5. May question is can I place any confidence in the negative for the type II also wjhat should I do about the positive for type I? Do I need to tell everyone I have herpes. I have read up to 80% of people test positive for this so what is the point in disclosing.

Please advise.

Thanks

We really don't have a lot of info on that but I think I've seen odds of 75% previously somewhere.

Just a general qustion if a person had sex with a partner who was having an active outbreak what would the chances be on contacting herpes during an unprotected encounter. I have seen the "results or percentages" of an encounter when there was not a current outbreak underway but never one that shows percentages when an outbreak is underway.

you are negative so the point is moot of how many people test + by that point. that is why we recommend waiting and testing so that when you do test,  it's your final results so you don't have to work yourself up like this worrying.

I do have a question; I do plan on going back for the 3 month herpe test but read on the web that 70 - 93% of people will show positive results at the 6 week mark if they are infected. Do you agree with that statement. Again not going to use this as an excuse to not retest just checking.

Thanks

Just got my results back; all where negative except the hsv1 that "score" went from a 3.6 to a 3.47 seems pretty consistent.

Seems that I am in the clear on all of the other STD's: still need to go back for the 3 month (12 week) check to confirm the hsv2 result.

Thanks for your time and advice to this point.
