You are not at risk of getting genital herpes from what you described. Get HPV vaccine. Visit this for Safe sex guidelines: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/safer-sex-guidelines

HSV I and HSV II are essentially interchangable, and an active HSV I infection in your partner can spread that to your genital area with oral sex.
