Worried about herpes auto innoculation
Hello, I've had herpes since I was a child. I bite my nails everyday, and I also rub my eyes quite often. I'm worried that I could have inoculated my eye unwittingly. What are the chances of this. I don't rub my eyes anymore, nor do I touch my eyes. Thank you
did you give yourself hsv1 in your eyes? no you did not.
changing your habits like you have is the best thing to do for many reasons :)

Hi and welcome. Eye herpes is most often from the virus traveling up the facial nerve. If you have hsv1 oral you cant contract it again. Its in your upper ganglion already. Herpes most always breaks out in the same spot as prefers the path of least resistance.
