I think transmission of HSV 1 to your hand during manual stimulation of your partner is extremely unlikely. Herpes whitlow presents with quite remarkable blistering of the finger. Also HSV 1 genital infection rarely sheds virus . Have you actually tested negative for HSV 1 yourself? About half the population has this infection.
