Herpes is not a bloodborne infection. The virus actually hides out in NERVE cells (not blood), and then gets released through the SKIN and mucosa.
You can't get herpes from a needlestick. But you can get things like HIV and Hepatitis B & C!
Herpes is spread through direct skin contact, like during sex or kissing.
I'd worry more about viral hepatitis and HIV from blood exposure than herpes anyway.
