A member asked:

Could i get herpes if someone touched the sides of my vagina (flaps, so near my undie line) with their fingers?

Incredibly unlikely: Unless this person touched an open herpes lesion on their own genitals or mouth and then immediately touched your vaginal area, the chances of transmission in this manner are probably exceedingly rare.
