just aches and no obvious lesions isn't likely to be due to herpes. it's time to stop worrying about it.

yes she was also shedding from the anogenital area but it's still a pretty low risk just from her vaginal secretions.  No symptoms within the next week or two and I'd stop worrying about it.

If the person you were with wasn't having an obvious ob at the time, you have no way of knowing if they were shedding the virus or not for starters. Folks with hsv2 are not contagious 24/7/365.  

Just manual stimuation is very , very low risk of contracting hsv2.  You really don't need to worry if all that happened was she touched herself and then touched you.

No.  Herpes isn't transmitted via hands.
