Herpes From Worn Underwear

Hi All,
I know it's been covered from time to time that acquiring herpes from dirty underwear is nil. For me, I'm a male, and what are the chances of me acquiring it if I took a worn underwear from a women who's sexual history I have no knowledge of, masturbated with it, by rubbing the dirty crotch area on the head of my penis and the shaft? I'm embarassed by this, but I also don't want to be spreading herpes around if I really am at risk of getting it.

Yes virtually zero chance. Perhaps a test 12 weeks post this episode will help assure you that you are not infected.

Thank you for your prompt response.

I hope you don't take it disrespectfully, but if I used the underwear immediately after the woman has taken it off and it could be moist and with crust, I'm still not at risk for herpes right?

Once again thank you.

That's zero chance, you we oiled not get herpes this way, no where near enough of the virus would live any where long enough to pose even the slightest issue.
