You would not have herpes whitlow from the episode you describe. Try not to let an overactive imagination run away with you. It just isn't helpful for enjoying life!

I think I diagnosed myself with herpes Whitlow but I haven't been having bad symptoms. Unless it was when I was feeling weird in my hands. If I did have herpes Whitlow what would I be expecting? Please and is there any other diseases that would be mixed with this?  I badly fingering a lady about 1 month 4/5 weeks ago. :(. Thank you.

So, this transfer wouldn't be possible through a simple plastic grocery bag?  I wasn't fully diagnosed. But I have been worried and would just like to know. If it was possible.

No I have  been going by speculation. But my hand was feeling weird/strange. Would it be possible to tranfer through the bag?
