Very less likely you can get infected with herpes virus this way even the owner of that wet jean is positive for herpes simplex.

Had blisters on my fingers that I assumed be Herpetic Whitlow. Everywhere I touched during outbreak, mainly my face, ears, scalp and nose seem to have burning sensation. Did I transmit to other parts of my body? How long are my fingers infectious?
Can herpetic whitlow happens when you touch something wet (unknown) with a tiny cut on index finger(under nailbed)like if i touched a wet shirt or a wet cup?
Could it be herpes whitlow? I've never had an outbreak but have burning/itchy around nose and mouth. Now my finger tip is stinging when I touch it.
All my joints ache & make cracking noises, my spine, shoulders elbows hips knees hands. I get random small patches of pain all over my limbs. Also a burning/tingling sensation to tips of fingers & toes. Any thoughts? thanx?
