Please help!

I have been reading this forum and first want to thank everyone that contributes to educate people like me.

My questions is regarding an exposure I had December 12th with a sex worker. She performed protected oral sex for maybe 49seconda and then we proceeded to have protected vaginal sex.

The sex ( sorry for being graphic ) was doggy style and I'm scare that my scrotum touching her vaginal might had exposed me to herpes. She had red spots on the lower part of the front of her lower thighs, maybe 2 or 3, none visible in her caginal or buttocks. What are the chances I contracted heroes from this exposure.

At 3 weeks I went and got a blood test

Hsv 1 0.57
Hsv 2 0.10

I had a sore throat at week 4 that lasted 2 weeks and constant diarrhea. Thank you for the answer in advance.

Thank you so much for the response as I have been going crazy with anxiety. Don't want to infect my wife. What about my test 0.57, is that normal?

Hi, if your worried that you contracted herpes from your scrotum making contact with her, dont be as the scrotum is not a common place for herpes to enter the body as the skin is to thick. Your overall risk for contacting herpes from what you describe would be as close to zero if not zero.
If she was having an outbreak on her thigh, your would need to have made contact with that area to be at risk.
