Do I have herpes?

Made the biggest mistake of my life and slept with an escort exactly 9 days ago (I’m a straight male). We used condoms and plenty of lube and both had Pubic hair (i didn’t look to see if I could see any sores on her). It only lasted about 5 minutes and wasn’t rough. I have gotten really paranoid since. I examined myself the next day and noticed a round red lump in my public region (I’m not sure if it  was already there though as I didn’t look before  - it looks like a red pimple and has remained red for the whole 9 days. I did knock it last night and it leaked a bit if puss and clear liquid. However it is now fairly healed and hasn’t really scabbed over or anything like that. I’ve had no itchiness, no headaches and no flu etc. Am I just being paranoid? (I’ve had cold sores when I was a kid but nothing since).
