Concerned.
I have a couple questions about a recent exposure that just took place. My partner and I did not have anal, oral or vaginal sex but were both naked.
1. Can you get herpes if he masturbates his penis and then fingers me?
2. What are the chances of getting herpes from naked outercourse?
3. Can you get herpes if his penis touches body parts, such as your buttocks or thigh?
4. Its been a week since the incident and haven't had any symptoms yet. Can i be comforted by this?

The virus will generally not be present in semen, only in very rare circumstances that virus sheds into the urethra as semen is passing through. Even then this is unlikely to be in sufficient quantities to cause infection.
A first outbreak of herpes will typically occur at the site where the virus enters the body.
Simple solution here if you have concerns. Mutually test for STDs and compare the results before sex.

Fleetwood20,
He claims that he doesn't, but I don't trust anything anyone says.
Oh no, is the herpes virus present in semen or not?
A spot on my anus is sore, should I be concerned?
I literally have so much anxiety over this exposure and I didn't even have sex. I just don't know if his penis ever touched my vagina or anus. I'm so scared.

Thank you fleetwood20 !
You cannot get herpes from cum/pre-cum correct? I gave him a handjob and it got a little messy.

Herpes spreads by oral, vaginal and anal sex.
Herpes sores blister, then burst, scab and heal.
STIs are the most common cause of genital sores.
Millions of people are diagnosed with STDs in the U.S. each year.
STDs can't be transmitted by casual contact, like hugging or touching.
Syphilis is an STD that is transmitted by oral, genital and anal sex.
Does you partner have genital herpes? What is your status?
To answer your questions:
1. For a male doing this, essentially zero chance. The virus cannot effectively transfer live from skin to skin to skin.
2. Also near zero, the virus really needs to get to nerve endings in sensitive mucous areas such as mouth or vagina.
3. As per 2.
4. For sure! Symptoms appear on average at 4 days, sometimes up to a couple of weeks but that is rare.
All this is a moot point if he doesn't have herpes.
