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?

Thank you, thats a sigh of relieve, i was diagnosed via blood test and it came back positive, but i have another query. I have a bump at the base of my stomach (not on my genital area) which im wondering if its a lesion, all the other lesions on my genital are gone but this bump is still there, it had no pus and i think i can recall seeing a hair in it, i picked at it and now its irritated, but im wondering if its a herpes lesion or an ingrown hair

you really don't have to worry about autoinoculation,  it doesn't happen much at all.

how were you diagnosed as having hsv2?
