herpes/fingering with no outbreak

I fingered a woman who i found out that has herpes and did not have an outbreak but did have cuts on my hands/ fingers; i have really dry skin thats why. i called a clinic and asked them if i can get it and they said there is a slight possibility only because of her bodlily fluids and the skin contact. I'm just asking a second opinon do i have anything to worry about?

if you aren't involved with this partner for things to go further than what they have so far, it's not even worth testing from this encounter dear. make sense?

You wait 3 months to get tested.  While some may test positive by 6 weeks it isn't enough of a time frame.  Wait the 3 months for testing.

it was way too early for herpes testing for you anyways. you need to wait 3 months post encounter to get tested for herpes.

that said, you've had no symptoms on your hands so no reason to think that you contracted hsv2 on your hands from this partner.

are you two sexually involved yet?

well thank you and well i went to et checked and the results came back at a low positive. They said i should get retested in 4-6 weeks to be sure and my results was at a low 1.23 and told me when freshly exposed to herpes it should be at a 1.9 or higher so im just worried and upset :(

I mean to say its a low risk, as there have been reports of getting herpes on your hand.  

Its a low low risk. I would not worry about this.

You weren't at risk for herpes for fingering a woman with no outbreak.
