Transmission question

[The dude]

Hi,
I have genital herpes and I want to know how likely it is that I could pass this on in this scenario. If someone was touching my penis (giving me a hand job) when I had no visible symptoms at the time and I take aciclovir 400mg twice daily. I am concerned that if she touched her genitals after without washing her hands if there is a risk of her getting it? I have had this for 8 years and very rarely get blisters. 
Thanks

I would say her transmitting it to herself that way is highly unlikely. Herpes viruses thrive in mucus membranes (I.e. our lips and genitals), so the possibility of it surviving for very long on your hands (no mucus membranes) to then be passed to the genitals is low. Sure, it happens, which is how people end up with ocular herpes, but that's pretty rare.  Plus, if you're on suppressive therapy and have no visible outbreak, I would say that significantly lessens the possibility. Take a deep breath! I'm sure it's fine.
