A member asked:
If someone with herpes was eat meat and what was left was put in the fridge could the virus be present in the meat after several hours?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Theoretically yes: However, it is not very likely. The herpes virus does not last very long outside of the body. You are probably going to be safe given the several hours you describe.
