Genital Herpes risk

THe other day I met a woman kissed her and finger "******" her. Also fingered her anus for a little while. She later told me she had genital herpes that she aquired about 7 years ago. She is on daily medication for it and has never had another outbreak since her initial one. She also says her current partner (for some time now) gives her oral and has unprotected intercourse with her and does not have herpes (gets tested throughout the year.) My questions: is there any risk to me of getting herpes from fingering her holes? She did cum on my fingers...if I touched myself afterwards should I be concerned? (She did not touch me at all but I did touch my penis on her *** cheeks. Thanks

you can contract herpes on your hands but the odds of such are very low.  this partner also being on daily suppressive therapy lowers your risk even more.

is this worth worrying about? no it is not.
