Could Having Protected Sex With A Female Having Herpes Cause Infection?

Hello, I recently had sex with a female, who afterward told me she has herpes. I wore a condom, she had no outbreak (in more than a year), and we have not had sexual intercourse or any other type of contact since. I have no visible sores or a rash and haven t at all, at any point, but I feel an itch. I am not sure if it is psychosomatic... what are the chances that I actually do have herpes?
