Herpes on finger

Can someone get herpes from me if they were fingering me and I had herpes? I'm scared I didn't think it was a risk but now I'm not sure

Thank you for your response I appreciate it. I did goto planned parenthood when I had symptoms they told me they were pimples.  I think I am over reacting probably from my exposure that most likely did not lead to infection.

Based on your testing it is most unlikely you have genital herpes. It would be best to mutually test before intercourse with a new partner so you both know where you stand. This would help you enjoy sex rather than being as concerned as you are letting this get in the way of some lovely aspects of life.

It would on,y be a small chance if someone had a finger compromised with cuts to be infected on the finger. Otherwise the skin is too hard and thick to permit access to nerve endings.
