Out of my mind

Had sex w women I met at a bar. Protected vaginal anal and oral. Also insertion of fingers in both orifices. French kissing as well.

Towards end of intercourse I noticed a single bump/lesion on her left vaginal lip.  I immediately stopped and washed hands and penis and groin area with soap and water. Asked her about it and she claimed it was nothing.

Now I'm losing my mind about the possibility of exposure and contraction of herpes.

Question is what is the potential likelihood of contraction ?

Any advice is welcome

Thanks for the reply. As I read it you feel if unprotected sex occurred the odds are single digit of infection and significantly lower given the use of protection?  

So would it be correct to assume a potential infection risk of less than 5%

Guess I'm trying to make myself less crazy while waiting it out the next 10 days looking for any symptoms to show or hopefully not show.

This is the worst feeling ever. Can't think or focus. Just want to lay in bed in a dark room.

Too many uncertainties, if it was a true herpes lesion, then the odds could be a few percent that you were infected if you didn't were a condom. With protection the odds are down and will depend on how much virus may have rubbed on you either from the lesion or anywhere else she may have been shedding.

Of course this may not be herpes at all, but as a majority of people with HSV2 don't know it, if this is of concern for you then a test in 12 weeks time would be conclusive.
