I had a new sex partner who is newly infected with HSV-2. She had given me oral sex and was wondering about the likelihood of me being infected. Here are the details: She has a current outbreak on her genital area. I was in no way in contact with her sores. Not by touching, or intercourse or any other means and she was clothed. She did not touch herself either before touching me. She is also on Valtrex. She has no sores or signs of infection on the mouth area. What is the likelihood of me still being infected?

I occasionally experience squeezing pain in the left side of my chest, feelings of passing out, and a low resting heart rate dipping into the low 50s. I have severe panic disorder and health anxiety. The pain has been stable and never gets worse. It is sharp and bothersome. I am 21 years old and have no other diagnosed medical conditions except for depression, general anxiety, OCD, ADHD, and panic disorder. The pain worsens when sitting and pressing on the chest, and after consuming carbonated beverages. I also experience shortness of breath, feelings of fainting, and palpitations, but no abnormal sweating, vomiting, nausea, cough, or fever.

I recently tested positive for HSV1 with a level of 1.48, but negative for HSV2. I don't understand how I could have been exposed, as I don't engage in much oral activity and no one I know has it. I have no symptoms. What does this result mean, and what should I do next?
