question

i have recently contracted HVS2, its been 3 weeks since i have been infected, its been 2 weeks since i have had mt 1st outbreak, i a have been doing a lot of reading about this thing. But my problem is, i touched the area of infection which currently no bumps or mucus are present and after i accidentally touch my stomach, after i realized, i applied a little water and soap to the same fingers i touched the area with and rubbed the area on my stomach which i had previously touch, then used a rag to rub and wipe the water away. I am wondering if i could have autoinoculate myself by doing that and if so, how long will it take for new bumps to appear and will i feel the symptoms on the area?

You don't have to worry about your stomach, there is no hsv there, this virus is more likely to spread on skin like (mouth, lips, genital area, anus)
I have HSV type 1 and 2.
Since i got HSV i had just 1 outbreak (was the primer infection) it pasted 4 years ago, im clear for 4 years.
PS: i do not smoke or drink alcohol, smoke helps hsv to appear, i'm eating very healthy.

i didnt get the paper, i called in and asked for the results, i know i have it because i went through all the symptoms and i saw one or two lesions on my pubic area. I did the test the day after i had sex, oh and also i have HSV1, had it for years now. You know im still freaking out of the fact that i spread the virus to my stomach

I will gladly take a look at your blood test results for you if you get them to post there. that way we know that you were properly tested and see if you need additional confirmatory testing. All you have to do is post the actual numeric results - e.g. hsv1 igg 7.8 and hsv2 igg 4.3 or whatever they are.  did you also have a lesion culture of active symptoms too?

how long prior to testing had you last had sex?
