Std symptom after fellatio?
Six days ago I created a situation for myself: unprotected exposure of my penis to oral sex for a few minutes by a sex worker (a highly impulsive action for which I am seeking help as well). She did not appear to have any open sores, but I cannot be certain.
Immediately after I came to my senses and started panicking. I pulled out a can of benzalkonium chloride hand sanitizer foam, and wiped myself down with it. I walked away from the scene and a minute or two later opened the tip of urethra and put a shot of foam on it too and wiped everything around down again with more foam.
I came home and read up about the possibilities of various STD's - hsv1 or hsv2 have me the most worried, although I will get a full panel of tests in time. Someone else in my house had started to get what seemed to be norovirus a day after my indiscretion, and I seemed to get it a day after them but just stomach cramps, loose bowels, fever/chills, slight wooziness, and no vomiting.
The day after exposure I noticed a single itch/tingle inside the urethra tip, that lasted a half hour or so, when it was around 9pm. I attributed it to possibly the sanitizer, but it went away. It has repeated like this at night, at slightly earlier times, up until now, so I don't think it is the sanitizer. There are no visible lesions as of yet, and the sensation doesn't persist.
I am concerned that it could be a prodrome indicator of a herpes infection. Is this likely? Or implausible unlikely?
Running the math says it is unlikely, even though what I did was stupid (assuming 80% of sex workers have hsv, and a 4% transmission rate when there are no open sores, is just a little over a 3 in 100 chance). But I still worry, and I plan on blood testing as soon as it makes sense to do so, and watch for lesions in the meantime.

Hi no std including herpes shows symptoms the next day but takes about 2 weeks for symptoms to appear.
