I was not thinking... Please help!

I was poking at a small scab on my shaft and used my fingernail to pop a small blister. I then put some soap on turned on the water and started to lather my hand, but then before I could get the water on my hand my fingernail I was using dug into my other hands skin and broke the skin and drew blood. I washed my hands for about a min but my question is I had blister waterish on my fingernail and went into skin. Could have I just transferred the fluid into my skin ? I have had herpes 2 for 4 months. Please advise I'm worried now

Hsv2 is a sexually transmitted virus not by what your describing. Any issues with hand herpes would be with hsv1 not hsv2.

Even taking the fluid off the blister and digging it into my skin?

Wow... you and your issues with touching things....

Your HSV2 would almost certainly not be transmitted to another part of your body in the way you are describing - even considering the open wound.

Last week, you "have had HSV2 for 5 years".  Now it's 4 months?
