do i have herpes?

Hello all,

This past sunday, i was chilling with this girl, and one thing led to another, i was fingering her. There was no kissing, no oral, vaginal, anal, nothing at all besides fingering. After i left, i washed my hands like 2-3 times. I didnt touch my face or anything as i was fully clothed. On monday i felt something on my lip. Not a pimple, but like a something, i cant explain. I asked my co worker and he said it has a small cut, like i bit it or something. Im not showing any symptoms, but i know sometimes herpes wont. I been worrying about it and i been feeling weird! I been stressing about it and everything i read online, i thought i felt. Not sure its in my head or if its really happening. No cuts on my hands or anything. I found out he has herpes. Not sure what kind as i heard from my bro, which he heard from the girls dad. Like i said, there was absolutely no touching of anything else besides hamd to vagina. I touched nothing besides the faucet to wash my hands, and i didnt touch my face with my hand until like 7-8 hours later. Heres the questions..

How soon will anything show, if anything shows?
What are the chances of me catching herpes?
How soon can i get tested?

Thank you all!

Ok. Because i been feeling like ive been feeling it crawl up my spine and in my head. But not headaches, jus like some type of deep feeling, like i feel the virus making its way up.. seems i only feel this when my mind wanders, and im looking for a reply from you..i will report any other feelings. Thank you fleet. You must think im super paranoid or something. No tingles, or burns or anything yet, its been 6 days. Another week or so, and i may be in the clear.

It is extremely rare for HSV1/2 to pass into your spine. It occurs less than 1/500000 people years. You are far more likely to feel it in your head as headaches if this happens. If this does happen then 90% of the time it is caused by HSV1 and only 10% HSV2.

This is academic, there is zero chance you have herpes.

Thank you for the info. So i know the virus goes up your spine. . Would you feel that?

Zero chance. It is like most viruses, very frail in the elements. It is not biohazard material. Unlikely it lived more than a few seconds on your hand. Washing with soap and water kills and removes most viruses.

No way of getting genital herpes from only fingering? For some reason, i felt a sensation on my genitals that lasted seconds. Used a flashlight to inspect penis, and testicles. Found nothing, or the spot i felt the sensation. Not tingling, or irritation. Just some feeling that mafe me check. No itching, no bumps, or anything. What do you think? What are the chances of getting it on my hand, then on my penis AFTER washing my hands multiple times before touching penis?
