herpes from a body search?

[Tastee]

Hello everyone. Today I went to a festival and they searched my body. At the end the guy touched my private and it was very un pleasant. If he was doing this to everyone else, could I contract hetpes if someone he touched had it?

I would be reporting him for indecent behaviour. There is absolutely no reason for him to touch your private area for a music festival search. Regarding the herpes, no, I don't believe it would be even remotely possible to contract this way, especially if it was over clothing.

Absolutely no chance through clothing.
