exposure to an infectious disease like herpes does not automatically imply that you will get it. many people (not all) will shed the herpes virus even when they do not have an active outbreak; some will only shed virus when they have an active lesion. so far you have lucked out but it is not possible to determine how long your luck will continue since you may or may not have been exposed. if you get genital herpes you will know it.
