[Question #14068] Body herpes question

Hello again,
I recently made a post about my massage incident but I had more questions that is still bothering me. 11 days ago I had a massage and the masseuse kissed my chest briefly (1 kiss for 1 second or a peck). Since then I have been worried about oral herpes on me chest as she was likely a high risk individual. I have been checking myself everyday for 11 days for signs of redness, blisters or prodromal herpes symptoms. I have not seen anything so far. I do not have a history of herpes nor does my regular partner. I do have a red pimple with a hair that I pulled out that is still healing since the incident. But these are my question if you can help me please
1. If I do not show any symptoms does that mean I am not infected with herpes or that I could be asymptomatic and a carrier?
2. Would the brief kiss to my chest infect me with herpes if the person kissed an area that had stretch marks?
3. Would herpes of the body be considered herpes gladiatorum? Will I be able to hug my partner and kids again without the fear of spreading something to them?
4. Could what I thought is folliculitis be herpes instead?
I have been afraid to take my shirt off and hug my partner because I am scared that I could be infected with body herpes and do not want to spread it to my family.
Thank you again
