Hsv2 risk or not?
About a year ago I had an experience where I received unprotected rimmming from an unknown male at a sauna. Not something I would normally do but.... My concern has been since then around herpes, tested for everything else and negative but whenever I see a gum clinic they say there are no lesions and so no test to take.
I feel soreness and it's tender around the Anus as if there is a cut there, so wiping around there is often very gentle.
I feel tingles in buttocks and down legs (as if nerve reation)
What chance I have Hsv2 or even if I have hsv 1 genitally then what chance of passing it on??
Any advice on a test I could take in the UK anonymously?

If you got herpes from this rimming encounter, you would get hsv1 genitally, not hsv2. The number indicates the strain, not the location. If you've ever had a cold sore/fever blister/oral herpes sore, you already have hsv1 and can't get it in a new location. You may already have it and not know it, since most people don't know they have it.
I found this for the UK, but know nothing about them. Check them out thoroughly before giving them your money - https://www.medichecks.com/herpes-tests/herpes-i-and-2-igg-antibody-profile I have no idea if it's a scam or not. Also, it's not anonymous. Probably no herpes testing in the UK is. It isn't in the US, either.
The UK doesn't really like to do blood tests for herpes.
That said, it doesn't sound like you have herpes. You could have hemorrhoids, anal fissures, etc. Tingles can be from so many things - herpes is way down the list, so work with your doctor to find the cause. Anal fissures can cause that, too, if it's pressing on a nerve.

So there was no Hsv2 risk from this encounter? If I was to have hsv1 genitally then was is the likelihood in passing it on genitally??
No hsv2 risk from this encounter at all. Hsv2 is almost always spread from genital to genital, and very rarely infects the mouth. When it does, it almost never recurs or sheds.
If you got hsv1 genitally, you can transmit that to someone else, though the chances of that are lower than hsv2. Transmission rates haven't been studied like hsv2 has, but hsv1 genitally recurs less frequently and sheds less frequently, so it would transmit less frequently.
