A member asked:

Could i get herpes if someone touched the sides of my vagina with their fingers?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possible.: If this person touched an open herpes lesion on their own genitals or mouth and then immediately touched to your vaginal area then it is possible. The chances of transmission in this manner are rare.
