I had cold-sore..i put my finger in my mouth. then touch my vagina .. is it possible i will get genital heroes "as my finger was still wet " ?

Cold-sore: Usually the herpes virus of a cold sore (herpes 1)does not cause the herpes virus in the genital area (herpes 2). However they both can coexist in one person.
