What Are The Chances Of Herpes Transmission Through Non Penetrative Sex?
Question: Hello there,
I made a mistake and went for a nurd massage nearly three days ago. it consisted of using oil to massage me and body rubbing. her vagina touched my back and my buttocks. this massage ended with a hand job. I am extremely worried i might have contracted herpes from this encounter. especially considering the body rub and vagina touching my back and ass. Could you help me be aware of the risk involved and look for any signs of contraction?

Brief Answer:
Getting tested and waiting for symptoms.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
In view of details of encounter, there is chance of getting herpes if concerned female had active herpes.
Two things to know if you got it, is to get tested after few weeks.Or other way is to wait and see of you get symptoms.
Most importantly, anybody can get herpes even through routine skin to skin contact or sharing object.So its not that only such sexual encounters lead to transmission.
So this encounter does not specifically increase chances of herpes.A large number of population gets herpes without any high risk contact.
I guess you need to relax and get tested later.
Hope this helps.Please ask if there are doubts.Regards

thank you for your answer doctor. how long should i wait? and would there a way of quantifying my level of risk?
Brief Answer:
6-8 weeks or if possible 3 months
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
You can wait for 6-8 weeks or if possible 3 months.
There is no definite way to quantify the risk.Only increased risk is because the concerned massager comes in close contact with many other individual who are active sexually and might have herpes.That increase her chances of having herpes and in turn your chances.
Otherwise the quantity of risk is same as coming in non-sexual contact with other individual with herpes.
