transmission after touching drinking water

Hello, my girlfriend and I were manually masturbating each other, though carefully avoiding my mouth as I've been healing from a recent outbreak (no blisters, but skin still healing), and I had cleaned my hands carefully with soap and water first.  I had some drinking water by the bed and she advised that I use water to lubricate her, which I did without thinking from the cup that I had drunk from about four and a half hours earlier.  I touched her vagina after wetting my fingers with this water, and she (rather understandably) freaked out, running to the bathroom to clean herself with soap and water from the sink.  What are the chances of transmission of herpes simplex 1 from this situation?

Many thanks.

this is not a risk for transmission of your hsv1 oral infection to your gf.
