To start with, once you have HSV 1 in one location on your body, it is very unlikely you would get this in a new location (ie breast)

1. How likely is it that through minimal contact and after washing I could have contracted HSV on my breast?
Incredibly unlikely

2. Is there a certain timeline when a lesion would likely appear?
2-10 days after contact

3. Would it be possible without lesions to transmit HSV to the other breast?
NO

4. Without a lesion, what is the likely hood of transmitted this to my infant?
see all the above information – so unlikely

5. How accurate are the swab tests – it was TMA.
Very accurate

6. Is there a timeline when my son would stop being at risk for disseminating heroes and death?
Around 3 months of age he would likely not die if he contracted HSV

7. Would pumping and bottle feeding reduce the risk of transmission if I have HSV on breast and I’m not aware of it yet?
Well, yes, but what a shame. but if it made you feel better, you could do it though I seriously doubt that you have HSV on the breast

8. Any other information you think I should know?
I think you have all the information that you need at this point.
