Possible herpes
Hello,
I'm scared I might have been exposed to genital herpes. I didn't have vaginal sex with the girl, we only used hands, and she wasn't having an active outbreak, and has been on acyclovir for a few months, I just wanted to know if it is likely that I got the virus. Also after we were done, I went and washed my hands and genital area, with soap and water. Am I okay?

Thank you so much. she also said her last break out was a couple of weeks prior to us doing that. Does that change anything? And can I ask where to read on that? Just to ease my mind. I'm a hypochondriac
That makes me feel a lot better! We only mutually used hands and washed both hands and Genitals right after
