Obgyn risk?

Obgyn risk?

I went to my obgyn on Wednesday and while asking questions about STD's, she got into the subject of cold sores and touched her lip in reference to the area and said she gets cold sores ever since she was in her 20s. I didn't see any sign of a cold sore except right where she touched looked like it had a vague redder shade..but could have just been my paranoid eyes. Now after this, she didn't wash her hands but got her microscope and possibly tools she was going to need for my culp. Then put on gloves and began the culposcopy.

Is there a risk from her touching her mouth and not washing hands before dealing with me and tools? (remember, she put gloves on before touching me..but touched the gloves with hands..)

Is there any risk of her face basically being right in front of my vagina and talking, POSSIBLY having spit spatter come out onto me while she was talking to me? (I don't know why she didn't wear one of those mouth masks.)

Is there any risk from touching door knobs, light switches, and objects ..and then touching myself down there?

(this is all basically in regards to both hsv.)

Thank you so much in advance. :]

EDIT: Also, I tested negative for hsv1&2 last year. So I wouldn't have any immunity or tolerance to either of the viruses I think.
