Risk for herpes through manual stimulation

I had unprotected sex with a girl using only manual stimulation - my hand on her vulva and finger inside, and her hand on my penis.  We also kissed (a lot, and deeply).  She had no noticeable outbreak and before I stimulated her, and I didn't know she had herpes while kissing and stimulation.  I have no cuts on my hand, but noticed this morning a tiny hang nail (which I made worse by pulling on it this morning).  I've scheduled myself for a test at Planned Parenthood.  I feel terrible as I really like this person, but I can't continue a relationship that doesn't allow for free sexual expression.  

What are the chances of Herpes transmission through this kind of manual stimulation?

If she had genital herpes and no oral infection then your chances are effectively zero. Her hand on your penis is zero risk. Even if she touched herself first. The only thing that could happen here and it is very rare and the odds of contracting it is astronomically low would be herpes whitlow. That is herpes of the finger. Again this is very very rare and if I were you it wouldn't even be a concern.
Your risk wasn't  a risk.

Hope this helps
