Chances of getting genital herpes hsv2 from humping?

I'm a male with oral HSV1. 1-2 weeks ago I had two brief encounters with an genital HSV2 positive female. No sex was involved- we were humping with underwear on most of the time, but the first time I got some of her fluid on my upper thigh. The second time she rested her vagina on my upper thigh for about a minute and I got some fluid there. Neither time did my penis or balls come into skin-to-skin or fluid contact. Both times I showered immediately.

I haven't had any symptoms but I'm wondering if I need to take extra precautions with sex before I get my 4,8,12 week tests? I was trying to be safe but after reading more I'm afraid maybe I was not safe enough.

Please advise!

This is a no risk event. Hsv will not be transferred through clothing. Even if wet with fluids and her vagina on your thigh is also no risk as the skin on the thigh is thick and the odds of being infected are as close to zero as it gets. No need to worry

Thanks feelingundone. I'll try to stop worrying since it sounds like I should not be concerned.
