What is the likelihood of me contracting herpes?

[anonimoo]

So about a month and a half ago I felt adventurous and decided to go out with 2 guys just once 2 weeks apart. Always being petrified of stds, I did not engage in any sex but one guy did use his fingers on me and we made out. I also made out with another guy like 2 weeks later but that was it. I thought that herpes could only be spread through visible sores, but I was recently informed that that is not the case. There is something called shedding on asymptomatic people that allows for herpes to be spread. So now my question is, what is the likelihood that I could have contracted anything from these people? Also, is an asymptomatic person always able to infect someone else or is it only during the shedding/cycle period? I spoke to these people before doing anything with them (I even checked their mouth area to see if they had anything) and they told me I had nothing to worry about, and apparently one of them gets tested, yet after finding out how most people are misinformed about herpes and how common asymptomatic people are, I am going crazy because it can literally be transferred in numerous ways and most people don't even know they have it. Also can herpes be spread in any way by being fingered? Please let me  know!

Feeling is spot on, the most common hsv spread by kissing is hsv1 Wich most people have from childhood,but given the 2 instances, your chances of anything are so slim I wouldn't even worry. If you don't see anything around the mouth area, and trust me it's hard to miss, you're usually safe kissing someone else. what

The odds you contracted oral hsv from this is very slim. So small it doesn't warrent much concern at all.
Shedding happens around 10%ish of days. That being said it is still unlikely to spread. In other words mist exposures won't lead to transmission.
