Oral Herpes from Kissing; how do you if its Prodrome has started

I was in Japan a week ago and was taken to a club where women essentially sit on you lap and kiss you while you caress them. I found the whole thing strange. A woman tried to kiss me a few times and I kept turning my face. She did, however, manage to kiss me a once or twice on the lips. In the last one, I felt her tongue/saliva on my tongue. She also coughed a lot while she was on me. The salvia thing freaked me out and I then left. When she can out into the light, I noticed a blue patch on her lower chin. I am scared this was a core sore.  What is my risk of oral herpes from this encounter? I got a sore throat the next day and have been run down (by I am also on a very tough trip). I started getting a tingling sensation in my lips but no visiable sores so far on my mouth or lips. I do have some Fordyce spots on my lips - but I believe I have had these for some time. Could I be having a Prodrome?

Thanks,
NTW

Sorry Japan,

But YES you can catch herpes by kissing an infected carrier.  You can also catch Mono, a cold, and who knows what else.  Good old fashioned morals should keep you clean.  Don't think the worse case scenario, be hopeful and positive along with a prayer, and you hopefully will be OK.  Don't assume she had herpes, perhaps she had an allergic reaction to her cheap make up, therefore not contagious.  Good Luck.
