Herpes?: Unless the other person has oral herpes (visible or not) it is highly improbable that u could contract an infection. If u develop any burning blister-like lesions on your genitals, see pcp for evaluation & treatment. Early treatment can suppress (but not cure) herpes outbreaks. Protect yourself with a condom in the future.

Go see your doctor: Go see your family doctor for std (sexually transmitted disease/infection) testing. If you're too embarrassed to see him/her, go to your local federal/county health clinic. Check out http://www.Cdc.Gov/hiv/resources/factsheets/oralsex.Htm because you're at risk for more than just herpes or hsv.
