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!

You don't really know if she has genital herpes to start with.
The odds of transferring HSV2 to your finger are next to impossible, you will not find authentic stories online regarding HSV2 infections of the finger, they are exceptionally rare, 1 in millions. HSV1 infects fingers in very rare circumstances for people who have extensive exposure, such as dentists.
The virus if present at all in sufficient quantities did not touch any other part your body so zero chance of infection to any other location.
Your lip cannot be related to this episode. You may already have oral HSV1 as an example.
There is no need to be tested for this episode. Testing at 12 weeks is required to be conclusive in the negative.

Ok, well i did alot of googling and i have read different. Now i am not doubting your knowledge, but is there anyway it could happen? The thing on my lip now looks regular. My lip looks fine since monday afternoon, but the cut is still present. I also read that even if the female isnt having a outbreak, you can still get it, even from fingering. And i have read you can get herpes bumps on your finger... Is there anyway, shape or form that i can have it? I still want to get tested regardless. So how long should i wait?
This is zero risk of contracting herpes from the episode you describe. Transmission is exceptionally unlikely to your fingers and the virus if at all present would due rapidly.
Be wary of tall stories too.
