Possible Herpes from saliva?

Hello all and first i would like to thank you for taking the time to answer my dumb question, please bare with me i am sort of freaking out...

With that said, I am pretty freaking worried right now. So about a month ago i met a girl on tinder and she gave me oral (blow job), i am pretty sure she gets around and is with a lot of guys pretty often. She went down on me with no condom a few times and then a few weeks later i had a scare that i might have gotten herpes, i had a small red spot on the front of my penis towards the top. I went to the doctor and he took blood test and in the mean time while i waited for the test to come back i had to dermatologist look at it and he said he was pretty sure it wasn't herpes and said if it was, it didn't look like any other herpes he had every seen in his career, at the end of the week i got my blood work back and i was negative for herpes (it was the most relieved and happy i had been in a long long time lol).

Well fast forward to tonight, i meet up with said girl again and she is going to blow me with a condom this time but before she put the condom on me she was trying to get me hard and spit on my penis for lube i guess, right away i got up and went to the bathroom and washed my penis off with hand soap and water really well. Then once i came back she proceeded to give me oral with the condom on and when she was done i noticed a bit of her salive and the base of my penis where the condom wasn't covering

My question is, is there any possible way that i could have contracted herpes from only her spitting on it a tiny bit then me washing it off really very quickly. Mind you she said she doesn't have it right now she says and she doesn't have an outbreak visible or any cold sores visible on her mouth and also said she has never had any sores prior to this, but it could have been possible that somebody she gave oral to or had sex with yesterday/recently might have had herpes and she just was exposed recently.

So TL/DR: Tinder girl, gave me oral tonight, spit on my penis before putting on the condom, i went and washed the spit off very quickly with soap and water. She said she doesnt have herpes she knows of and has no present or visible sores on her mouth. She gave me oral about a month ago with no condom and i had a blood test for herpes then but its possible she could have been exposed since that last time we were together.

can i get herpes from just salive on my penis that i washed off right away?(within 30seconds)

THANK YOU a ton for answering my wall of text and letting me know what is medically possible

Herpes needs to be massaged into a mucus area to be even be at risk and even with that a correct nerve needs to be used. The one senereo that a risk does exist that is often mentioned is sharing lip balsm because they are massaged onto the lips. And they would need to do it immediatly after someone with lip herpes uses it. Other than this is not possilbe

Wow. This is a very paranoid driven post with little fact to base it on. While there are some small truths in the previous statement, most of it is way overblown. Again we are talking about adults not small children here.

Saliva is not an efficient way to contract the infection. Intact skin is very resilient. With no sores pressent your chances are very very low. Close to zero. You can forget about hsv from this exposure (and the last one for that matter). Newly acquired hsv 1 genital infections almost always have a very harsh primary outbreak with painful lesions and flu like symptoms. Hsv1 of the genitals is almost never asymptomatic.
Hope this helps

Never forget. .. you CAN get it from saliva and casual or indirect contact from someone who gets cold sores. Every personal interaction with the infected therein lies the risk of infection. Don't risk it Herpes is for LIFE. NO CURE.
