Herpes Whitlow

Dear Doctor,

How common is Herpes Whitlow from auto-inoculation? If I don't have an active genital hsv-1 lesion, is it likely that I will get herpes whitlow from asymptomatic shedding? Is there a big risk involved? How long does the herpes virus live outside is site of infection? What is the best way to prevent Herpes Whitlow? I hope to hear from you soon. Thanks!

it's not common at all to contract whitlow after you have a well established genital infection like yours.
