HSV1 herpes

2 days ago I was in a party and was quite drunk. This being the case and the atmosphere there, I was with a girl I met there and we have kissed (firstly briefly kissed lips on lips, then french kissed for a few times, each lasted for around 4 to 5 seconds). After that, I went to her place and she started to perform oral on me, but I suddenly feel it was not right to do this so I immediately pulled away, so she literally performed oral on me for like a second or so.

2 days after the incident (today), I got a little sore throat, not sure whether it is due to the dry weather or not, and I have mild sore throat quite frequently. I also got a small red bump just on my left upper lip, again not sure whether it is hsv symptoms as sometimes I got pimples on areas around my lips.

Three questions I want to ask:
1.) Regarding hsv1, is it a high risk activity for me to engage in french kiss with that girl, given that the kiss was not at all rough and only last for a few seconds each time? Is there other stds that I may catch?
2.)  How long usually does initial symptoms tend to appear, and how long do they last? And having regard to my "symptoms", do they in any way resemble that of hsv/herpes infection?
3.) On my very brief oral encounter, is there any risk associated with this, being hsv1/hsv2 or other stds?

I'll get right to your questions.

1.it's a very low risk activity if your partner doesn't have an active cold sore.

2.3-10 days on average for symptoms to show. A primary outbreak usually lasts a few weeks total. Your symptoms do not sound like a hsv primary outbreak.

3. The risks were so small I wouldn't be concerned. Hsv2 was no risk as it is so rarely an oral infection and doesn't shed much at all. Again, I wouldn't worry
