what is the possibility of contracting herpes from someone who for about 20 seconds inserted into my vagina without a condom?

Genital herpes is transmitted by genital to genital contact with heat/friction. 20 seconds is minimal risk - does the person even have herpes?

I personally would consider it a very minimal risk. If it's someone with whom you're going to be in a relationship with, it would make sense for you both to be tested for herpes/STDs. Always a good thing to know your partner's (and your own) status.
