Can you get herpes from spooning?

Basically, I came in contact with a man that had genital herpes but we did not have sex. We spooned naked and I'm afraid that because of that I may have gotten the virus. I noticed a red bump on my panty line on my butt and I'm being super paranoid about it. Is it really possible to contract genital herpes through spooning? Thanks!

no reason to think you contracted herpes from this. you can contract herpes from naked skin on skin contact but the risk of such is very low .
