“Viral loads in your face mask?”
If you are positive for Covid but you are asymptomatic can you increase your chances of getting sick from the disease by breathing into a face mask all day? Since you are increasing the viral load in the mask and thus increasing the dose of the virus you are being in contact with?

You already have the infection, and luckily you are not experiencing COVID-19 disease. In this scenario wearing a face mask is one important measure not to spread the virus from you breathing out to other people and potentially infect/harm other people. You are not changing the viral load you already have by wearing a mask. With asymptomatic infection you should be quarantining for 10 days.
No you can not. This is your virus that you are producing I cannot reinfect you at that point in time
