Herpes from body slide massage?

Recently I recived a body slide massage at a massage parlour. The lady was naked I believe and as I was lying face down on the table, where she proceeded to massage my back and sit on my bum naked I presume as she did so. She also swept up my back and her vagina may have come in contact with my back also. My questions are...

Could genital to back and bum contact be a risk of infection?

Should I be concerned about Herpes from this exposure?

Would there need to be genital to genital contact for transmition?

Thanks

Genital to genital is how almost all ghsv is spread. Very thin delicate skin makes it easier for hsv to be massaged in. I wouldn't be conerned as contracting hsv from what you describe is very unrealistic.

unrealistic like no chance and no need to get tested? I have a long term partner and family who I want to protect...Also its been 9 days and no visable signs would that be a good indication? If transmition was possible could it manifest on the back or would it appear on the genitals from transmition this way?
Yes, I surely do not recommend testing. No symptoms at nine days is obviously a great sign.
Your primary outbreak will happen at the sight of contraction (or extremely close to it)
When I say no realistic chance it means you can move forward without concern.
Thank you greatly appreciated... Its so strange to read on the net the different people talking about transmition from skin to skin and its ease of doing so... Thats the sort of talk that gets worriers like me on google... is there a good site that explians transmition out there for peoplw like me so they dont search from the uneducated? Just asking and trying to help others.
You're welcome. Skin to skin is very misleading. Genital skin on the vagina and penis is very thin and pretty delicate. This makes hsv transmision easier with the friction of intercourse. Rubs it in. Lol
Now other skin say on the back, thighs...stc is much thicker. If it were so easy to contract elsewhere on the body it would be all over. There is a reason it's not. We always talk about genital and oral hsv for a reason. We don't get people with back herpes or feet herpes. Lol
cheers what at top response yet again... hence the reason im safe.

Can I have some clarification here? How can experts talk about skin to skin transmition... Is that just a description for genital to genital skin... or genital to mouth?
