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?

i went to the doctor today and we had a talk, i saw my results
IGM
NEGATIVE  0.90
POSITIVE  1.00

IGG
NEGATIVE  0.90
POSITIVE 1.10

and he said i most likely had it from a month or months ago, this is strange to me cause i had no previous symptoms or out break, could i have been shedding all this time and would this technically be my primary outbreak

Even if it was a false positive, i still had all the symptoms, tingling and burning in my groin area, soar throat but i never came down with a fever..and i saw a lesion on my pubic area, i read some where that you can spread the virus to your eye either 1 or 2, my left eye was paining me on and off over the past couple of days and this morning it produced a little mucus, last night when i was sleeping i was laying my head on my right hand, so my eye came in contact with it, now the area (thumb and pointing finger) where my eye was touching is now numb-link so now im thinking i past it on to there now. Its hard to not believe when your having strange sensations

no you didn't make antibodies really fast that you were + a day after sex.   either you had hsv2 prior to this and never knew it or you had a false positive.

Autoinoculation is extremely rare, and when it happens, it happens during a primary outbreak, but even then it's extremely rare. After your primary outbreak you aren't at a real risk of getting HSV-1 or HSV-2 (if you really have both) at another part of your body. So, since you say you have HSV-2 genitally then you won't get it orally, and since you have HSV-1 orally, you won't get it genitally. If you're still in your primary outbreak then just continue to wash your hands after you use the bathroom or touch yourself there.

Your HSV-1 is not breaking out on the eye. HSV-1 outbreaks occur in the nose region to the chin. There's no real reason to think you have HSV-1 in your eye or ocular herpes.

Also, your body wouldn't produce antibodies a day after sex that would be detectable for a positive result. Some people can produce antibodies within a week while almost all will get a definitive result three months post exposure. You really need to get your test results and post them here so Grace can interpret the numbers.

The thing about HSV that people don't understand is that you can't spread your own thing to other parts of your body. That is what i was told by the Docs. Any professional here feel free to correct me on this.
