Last night I was with a girl that was having an active herpes out break on her buttocks . It was healing . We were naked I touched the sores they were scabbed and then we both did mutual masturbation with the same hand that touched the sore , there was some brief contact of my penis against her butt . What are my chances of getting herpes ?

I think your chances of getting herpes in this way is just incredibly low! None of the experts here believe that hands are a method of transmission of STI's. The brief contact between your penis and her buttocks - was it contact directly with the sore or somewhere else on her buttocks? I'm a bit unclear about that - can you help?

No direct contact with herpes but rubbed penis between her butt crack for a minute

I have freaking out since . My hand definitely made good amount of contact on scab lesion and same hand touched penis , almost 100 percent penis did not touch sore but definite contact with upper butt crack . Her lesion was scabbed , and would that give off less virus ?

I’m 5.5 days in with no signs yet . Also side question , if I got first initial herpes 2 infection in nose , would it be obvious ?

I'm still not worried about this contact. I think it is very unlikely that you acquired herpes AND you are 5.5 days out with no signs! That's great.
I'm wondering why you think you might have gotten HSV 2 in your nose. Were you the giver of oral sex to this person? If you are worried that somehow you got genital infection and it came up and out of your body in your nose, that's not how it works. But if you've had a history of cold sores in the past, those very commonly can show up inside the nostril. What do you think?

Thank you , I understand . Two questions , if you got your initial herpes infection in your nose , would you know and would it be painful and where would it occur ? I’m 8 days out with no signs of infection , how confident are you that I’m ok ?

You would not get an initial infection in your nose. The initial infection would be the mouth/lip - that's where the contact occurs. But a person could also get an outbreak in the nose. If you have no symptoms 8 days out, I think it is likely that you are OK.
