Contact: the virus transfers through skin contact other than kissing ,like hand contacts that was in touch of the lesion while its active,transfers to others healthy hands . Your under medications for that or others?

HSV-1 transmission: by sharing eating and drinking utensils, razors, towels, washcloths, oral sex as well as kissing, may spread HSV-1. The virus may be transmitted by even though blisters and sores are not present. Hope it helps.
