digital penetration concern

[spep]

Recently I received digital penetration from another man in a gay bath sauna.  That was the only contact, yet the finger fully penetrated and friction and heat were present.  I developed a raw feeling in my anus five days later.  It seemed to go away the very next day, so I thought, but five days after the feeling of rawness came back.  I don't see blisters, but it's hard to check.  I know blisters sometimes do not develop in the anus.  I can touch the area that feels raw, it's not excruciating but more uncomfortable.  It is not uncomfortable to defecate or wipe.  I'm now feeling slight itchiness on and off in the anus, backaches, and butt aches.  
My question concerns digital penetration.  Information seems varied and I understand little studies are probably complete where digital penetration is the only method of sex.  If the other person had genital herpes and was masturbating himself, then penetrated me with his finger, is this a reasonable method of transmission?  I know herpes generally likes the "boxer short" area, but can other areas be modes of transmission?  
I know these questions might be vague, but I don't think there's much for a doctor to visualize and what I read generalists don't often have much experience with visual diagnoses. I'll get a blood test, when timing permits to be conclusive.  
Any thoughts are appreciated.

This was important information to have disclosed earlier.

As you have HSV1, you cannot get it again. What was the first test you undertook? An IgG test? Was it a test that was positive >1.1 or perhaps >20?

Either way HSV1 is missed 1 in 10 infections, so this could happen by chance.

There is no need to be concerned.

I just received my 6 weeks test results and I'm left confused.  On Monday I received my Type I positive result of 17.  I knew I was type one positive and only took that test by mistake.
My confusion is that I just received my IGG test and Type 2 test and both stated negative <.9.  I am relieved with my Type 2 negative, but I thought if I was Type I positive the IGG test would be positive for sure.  That result confused me.  I thought the IGG test simply noted presence of any type of antibodies.
Can anyone tell me why the IGG would be negative?  Is that a cause for alarm with testing validity?
Thanks!

Thank you Fleetwood and thanks for the dedicated time you spend in sharing your expertise.

This was a zero risk episode for herpes transmission.

The symptoms you describe are not related to herpes. All is fine!

I am very concerned now.  I've been experiencing constipation, butt pains, crawling feelings in my anus.  But pains and swollen anus feelings come and go,  but at day 15 I now have prickling feelings in my right foot.  It's very persistent.  
Any help is appreciated.  Thanks

Thanks, I doubt that he had herpes sores on his fingers.  My concern is that he transferred the virus from his penis to his finger to my anus.  In your opinion, is transference from penis to finger to anus a real possibility if shedding on the penis is occurring?
Thanks

Herpes sores on the fingers usually only occur during initial infection and then that's usually it. A person with such sores would not finger another person because quite simply, it would hurt enormously, let alone concerns over spreading whatever it was. Hence there is little need for speculation.

Thank you for the information.  I've thoroughly read all the posts, in this forum, concerning transference of herpes through fingering or finger penetration.  Based on it and please correct me if I'm wrong, if sores are not present, but shedding is occurring, transference from one's penis to hand to another's anus would be difficult due to open air and degree of virus carried on the hand.  However, if sores are present and one masturbates, then uses his finger for penetration in another's anus, transference is possible, just not probable.   Am I reading this correctly?  
Based upon the feedback in this forum, I'm feeling like there are no absolutes when it comes to transference from fingering as different variables exists in different scenarios.

No the finger is not a place where a herpes infection is expected nor does it shed in the absence of sores on the finger. Hence the odds of this being herpes are non existent.
