You need to seek out professional help about your fear of herpes. This is way beyond a normal concern about herpes and is more than an online forum can help you with to be honest. Your anxiety over it all is far more of an issue than herpes is.

yesterday at school a boy in the locker room had his head down and my sleeves were right in front of his face, i thought that my sleeves touched his lip. it looked like he had a sore on his lip, and right after i did so i went to the bathroom. now if he did have a sore and his mouth touched my sleeve if ,my sleeve touched my genitals while i went to the bathroom could i receive genital herpes this way? i read that if you touch a sore on your finger and then touch your genitals, so would this be the same? please respond, you are always of much help.
The virus isn't that easy to transmit. It also takes heat and friction to transmit it into the body. Just the contact you mentioned isn't enough.

why wouldnt it be a risk then? im sorry if im asking too much
so its not a risk if her hand touched her lip and then my lip?
I already told you no - it's not a risk.
no the hand to lip touching wasn't a risk either.

i also read that primary infection can last (sores healing) from two to six weeks, so what if that girl had her primary then because when i talked to her it was two weeks from the day her finger touched my mouth? Im certainly not going to ask her about it either. im very worried here. thank you!
two last questions please...if i didnt have recurrent herpes anywhere and i was just having my primary outbreak without any symptoms because i was exposed to the virus a couple weeks ago, and i found out that herpes can appear without symptoms and can come within two weeks of initial infection and sores last maybe up to ten days.....if i had all of that say im going to the bathroom and my shirt touches my mouth (because i was trying to hold it up going to the bathroom) and then it fell on my genitals, what is the chance that i could be infected? The other question is when i was exposed to the virus. week of thanksgiving i was at a football game (high school) working a booth and this girl who i talked to in school touched her lip and then wanted me to feel how cold her hand was. So she put her hand on my lip. I was angry beacuse i saw her about two weeks ago with a sore on her lip and i looked up that sores can last like up to two weeks or so with asymptomatic shedding afterward. So if she still had some on her finger and then touched my mouth, could i have gotten it orally? Everything that has to do with genital herpes has to do with that basically, what i am asking here. Thank you, sorry if this seems like too much. You are of much help!
if i didnt' have recurrent herpes yet and i was experiencing a primary outbreak on my mouth and i didnt even know it, because i have read that no symptoms could be present, could i then spread herpes to my genitals from autoinoculation if say my mouth touches my shirt in the bathroom and when i change upstairs my shirt touches my genitals, even though it has been a minute or so? please help

You have a set of nerves that serve the entire "boxer short area" which is the area a pair of boxer shorts cover so you can get them any where in that area. Most of the time however it will reoccure in the same place. I have had them for a lot of years and it has always been in the same place. But I have also read posts where someone has suddenly gotten them somewhere else.
what happens is it travels through the nerve endings. If you get them in the same place that is all you can expect till it changes if it ever does.
