Is hsv itch in pubic area persistent or could it feel like a random needle poking sensation? cant tell if i am having possible symptom, i dont have any blisters/sores. have been very anxious about it since receiving a handjob last month?

And your question is? You have unremitting symptoms. Seek a medical examination to determine e the cause and thus the correct treatment. Avoidance will not result in a cure.

Herpes is not transmitted by hand-genital contact. Sometimes recurrent herpes is preceded by a "prodrome" of tingling or other sensations for 1-2 days (never longer) in the area where an outbreak will occur, but prodrome doesn't occur with the initial infection, only repeat outbreaks. Aside from prodrome, herpes never causes any skin sensation in absence of a visible outbreak.
