Herpes risk?
I have two 'risk' scenarios I'm concerned about.
The first is from mutual masturbation. A guy wanked me and I'm not sure if he had precum on his hands from his own penis when he touched me. He rubbed the head of my penis with his fingers, including the tip (urethra). What is my risk of herpes/HPV from this?
The second is with a guy I know who has had bareback anal sex (insertive) and has never tested for any STI's. He tried to kiss me last week and slipped his tongue in my mouth twice. I had a very sore ulcer on the roof of my mouth. Just under two weeks later and I have had severe headaches, body aches, particularly my neck and shoulders, but going down to my arms and also in my wrist and hands. I don't feel any lymph nodes swollen but the pain moves from area to area and I've also had bad nausea, too. I've not had any fever or rash.

No, I get mouth ulcers and didn't think anything of it, to be honest. Its cleared up ok.
The concern is this kiss and if I could have got anything from it, if his saliva got on the ulcer.

No risk at all from the first encounter. Very little for the second. Did you have the ulcer looked at by your Dr?
A brief kiss or French kiss is a very low risk exposure. It wouldn't hurt to get looked at by your physician.
