Herpes and autoinoculation

What are the chances that I infected myself with genital herpes during my first outbreak by cleaning my genitals with paper after touching the cold sore? And if it happened, how long would it take until the first symptoms appear? It's just horrible to live with this doubt

Generally it takes around six to eight weeks after this so get ur STD panel checked to clear doubts.
