[|Human|] Hello. :)  I just went to a house with my friend.  There were lots of people.  This guy gave me a hug that i met (dont remember if he touched my hands). I then later got a litttle random natural itch and went to bathroom to scratch my self down there.  haha it was a good close scratch. Thing is i didnt wash my hands first not thinking (not thinking)!!!  Then coming out of washroom i noticed the guy i hugged had oral herpey on his lip.  So the thing is i just dont recall if he had shortly touched his sore.  Then possible touched my hand then me putting my hands down my pants to scratch my genitals about 40 mins later.  Also i hear hes had the out break for over a week, so im not sure if it is still extremely contagious??. Do you believe there would of be any chance i could of cought it from his hands to my hands then to my genitals????     Thank you sooo much!
[|AI|]  It's very unlikely the virus would be transmitted that way, although not entirely impossible. If the lesions were scabbed over, they probably weren't particularly contagious. People touch their faces many times a day, so its possible he touched the lesions but if he only gave you a hug, he probably didn't touch your hands. Even then, that type of contact from lips to hands to your hands to your genitals is not likely to pass the virus. Its direct contact you'd have to worry about-for instance, if he had given you oral sex. So you are okay and don't need to worry about this. Hope this helps.
