Possible to contract hsv via sweaty hands/masterbation.

[hereigoagainn]

Hello,
I'm hoping I'm just freaking out. I was at a concert Thursday night and here's the things I'm concerned about that happened:

I went to the bathroom w my friend and she went before me. While I was about to pull up my pants, she swiped her finger horizontally across my mons pubis I think it's called...to address "Oh, you shaved!" Gross, I dont know why she touched me..but she swiped her finger lightly across the top of my vagina area where the top of my underwear would have been. Is there any risk (with hsv especially as well as other stds?) with that happening seeing as how she just went to the bathroom? I'm very upset she did this.

Also, during the concert, there were men with their shirts off dancing around and all were very sweaty. Everyone's hands were patting everyone on the back...I was patting people on their sweaty backs, pushing my way through crowds..touching everyone's torso skin, getting their sweat drenched on my arms, hands, face, ..gross I know. So during the show, I needed to go to the bathroom...while in the bathroom I touched my vulva/inner labia area because I have an issue where I always check myself out of curiosity. So I was running my fingers along my inner labia and what not until realizing I never even washed my hands and then freaked out. Is there a risk with that when it comes to herpes especially as well as other stds and even hiv?? I know it's not contracted through sweat but what if someone had some sort of open sore/cut on their backs that I touched and then I went in touched myself?
Please help. (I've been tested in the past frequently for hsv1&2 and have been negative.)
All responses and thoughts would be so very helpful. Thank you so much.

we call genital herpes a sexually transmitted infection for good reason - it takes the heat, friction and grinding of a sex act to transmit it. even if your friend did happen to have active herpes virus on her hand which is very doubtful, just touching your skin like that isn't enough.

I just saw your response on my other post. Thank you so much Grace.
You must know how much you make a difference in people's lives. Thank you.

I'm trying to educate myself on std's but can't help but be fearful at the same time. Could assess it a little further as to why it's not a risk though? I'm sorry to be a bother! It just really keeps bogging my mind. I don't know if you've seen my other post Grace, but I've recently just discovered I might be expecting a little one! So, I'm very very concerned about well being now.
If my friend had just went to the bathroom and say she did have something...and touched it somehow, then wiped her finger across my upper vagina area..where the hair grows on top (mons pubis?) ...that is not a risk? And to think she's externing to be an RN right now! And with other people's sweat getting under my nails and me touching myself within my inner labia not even a minute later isn't scary either? If anything, would that just be a bacterial thing I might get?

I can't help how concerned I am. I'm very private about my body and hate that my friend even thought that'd be okay for her to touch me too.

I'm so sorry to bug.

be educated about std's, not fearful!

Thank you Grace. I guess I shouldn't be assuming herpes is everywhere should I? I'm always thinking it's as easy as catching a cold.

this is no risk to you at all.
