Can someone tell me my risk?

Okay recently, Actually a month ago. My friend and I got really drunk and she ended up giving me Oral sex. She has HSV-1 genitally. She was not having an outbreak. She is also on Valtrex which she takes twice a day. But she was really drunk so she told me she was not "wet" at all because that is how she gets when she is drunk. But she touched herself down there for a total of about 5 seconds. Then we kinda rolled around in the sheets so her hands had times to touch something else. But then about 10-15 mintues she touched my penis. So can someone tell me the risk of my contracting the virus. She was NOT having an outbreak. She also have not had an outbreak since then. Again she takes Valtrex and has not missed a dose.  I have been completely stressed out about this for a month. Just completely a wreck and in fear of having this. My friends have told me I should be fine and that my chances are really really low but i just wanted to see what someone thought.

Ill probably do that haha. But I really wasn't at risk for anything? I have been freaking out causing my body a whole bunch of stress because of this.

only 20-40% of folks who have hsv1 orally, ever get obvious cold sores to know it which is why periodic testing is helpful :)

this really was not a risk for you if she has hsv1 genitally.

have you ever been tested to know your own status? 1 out of every 2-3 adults has hsv1 whether they get obvious cold sores to know it or not. it's incredibly common.
