Hmmmm good luck. I'm trying to remember everything they said in the herp medication commercial they always used to run.... But, no dice.

Look at the bright side.You can always hide it if its down in the groin area.If its on your mouth you are screwed.....and will be pleasently reminded of your one night stand forever...........
Drunk sex, brought to you by Valtrex.
Look at the bright side - at least you don't have FULL-BLOWN AIDS!
Ummm, so if they never have an outbreak they still need to wait to be absolutely sure?
Look, you were smashed and hooked up with someone who has the herp. Its cool, it happens. You ever think about what those people do who actually have it? They wear condoms and bang. They arent permanently kicked out of the hook up game for life.
You say you wore a condom, and didnt have oral. Sounds like typical drunk sex with a rando if you ask me. Honestly, if in a couple weeks nothing happens I would sleep easy. Get tested, take it easy for a bit, but if all systems come back clean, theres no use worrying about something you more than likely dont have.

Neurodoc gave the best information here. I just found out recently I have Type 2. I thought I was the only person in the world to have it and then after some research I found that about 20-25% of the population carries Type 2.
Type 1 and 2 are different, as mentioned: Type 1 is more coldsore kind of stuff almost everyone has it, Type 2 is genital herpes.
You can get Type 2 it even if you wear a condom. You can transmit it even if you wear a condom. I didn't know this, so imagine my surprise when I got tested when my g/f decided she wanted to ditch the condoms. She was nervous about something from someone once, I wasn't nervous at all, because I have worn a condom my whole life. (Yes yes, it sounds unbelievable, but it's true...) WOOPS! I apparently have herpes type 2, and I'm (thankfully) so far asymptomatic. Which means I have it, it's dormant, but I can still shed and give it to others. I must've got it from some girl sometime, somehow. Fuck. (G/F was totally clean).
So ponder this: For every 4 to 5 people making smart-ass comments on this thread, one of them has it and either:
a) knows it but since this society makes herpes a social death sentence doesn't say a word, or
b) has it and doesn't know it, and is possibly spreading it.
Because symptoms can range from asymptomatic/redness/itchiness in the nuts/full-on sores/pimples/etc., it's tough to self-diagnose.
Get tested.
Interesting fact: I was in NYC a few years ago getting tested at a sex-health facility and they didn't test for it at all because it's so rampant and there's no cure, there was no point in getting people all worked up about it and stressing them out. Kinda stupid IMO, but just goes to show where this is going. I have seen some estimates that in 20 years almost 40% of the population will have Type 2.
