im twenty year old female n had herpes since i was 18. my freind fingered me and now is freaking out thinking he can get it now, could i give it to him from him fingering me? what if i gave him head?
You aren't a walking biohazzard who is contagious 24/7/365 for starters!!
Normally the skin on the hands/fingers is too thick for the virus to penetrate even if you were actively shedding the virus at the time of this encounter. If your partner bites their cuticles, had dry, cracked skin or had open cuts on his hands/fingers then there is some risk but again, you'd have to be actively shedding the virus which odds are wasn't happening.
In general, manual stimulation is too low of a risk to be worried about.
