Risk for Herpes/Genital warts

[cccggg111234]

Hi there.. I've got a recent encounter yesterday at a massage parlour.. I got a question here.. Can herpes/genital warts be transmitted if uninfected skin comes into contact with a infected skin for 20 seconds or so? No rubbing was involved.. just purely touch only, like skin to skin stick together..
Secondly, if i touches the private area(with vaginal fluid) of a person infected with herpes/gential warts, and continue to touch my private area with the same hand, will herpes/genital warts be transmitted in this way? Lastly, will pubic hair help to reduce/prevent the transmission of herpes/genital warts? Kind and knowledgeable moderator please educate me if there is a risk.. Thank you!

when you shave off your pubic hair, you create microscopic ( and sometimes not so microscopic ) cuts in the skin that can increase your risk of a std.

Thank you for your reply! icic. but can herpes be transmitted through vaginal fluid from a infected person to a uninfected wan? And Just curious, for my last question that i mention above, does the pubic hair really helps to prevent herpes infection for the area above the praivate parts? Thank you very much!

this was really low risk. we wouldn't recommend any testing from it.  

mutual masturbation is also very low risk for transmission.
