How Is Herpes Transmitted?
About 8 months ago I was with a guy whose sexual history I am unfamiliar with. I don t know if he has an STI s and we did not have unprotected sex. However, we were fooling around he rubbed his genitals between my buttocks without a condom. I have had no symptoms of herpes and did not see any symptoms from him but I am still nervous about the possibility to have contracted herpes this way.

Hello,
Herpes transmitted through sex or skin contact with lesions of the infected person. If you're not observed any lesions in the private parts of the person means nothing to worry. Maybe your psychological thoughts may give false belief that you are having it seems.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
