After taking my shower i wiped to dry my vagina and forgot to wash my hands i have genital herpes but not sure if symptoms rn. then i blew my nose and washed my hands. is it possible that the virus is on my nose/face so i have to not kiss my newborn?

It is very unlikely for you to transmit the virus to your infant in a way you described. If you happen to develop blistery lesion on your lip, you should avoid kissing newborn.
