Hand job and herpes

[Jrandom1234]

Hello Dr, 7 days ago I received a hand job from a stripper. While she was performing the hand job I reached down and touched her pubic area, but did not insert any fingers. I may have touched the opening to her vagina but only for maybe a second or two she also had quite a bit of pubic hair. I did this 3-4 times until I stopped. She gave me a hand job for about 10 mins but I never ejaculated. When we were finished I went straight to the bathroom to pee without washing my hands, and I touched my penis with the hand that I had touched her public area with. My question is, is it possible that I contracted any form of HSV from this encounter. I don't have any lesions on my penis but I do have a pimple like bump on my inner thigh that seems to be growing from a hair. I am not sure if this is a lesion or not. Thank you

Sorry for the typo.  That should read "...from a clogged hair follicle."  EWH

Welcome to the Forum.  I'll be happy to comment.  There was no risk for herpes or any other STI from the activities that you describe.  STIs are not transmitted from person to person through the transfer of genital secretions on someone's hands.

The pimple that you describe on the inside of your leg sounds like folliculitis, when normal bacteria from your skin get into a cloggers hair follicle.  This is not an STI and should not worry you.  

From your description, I see no reason for concern about STI, nor any reason for testing related to the events that you describe.  EWH
