Someone with known hsv1 but with no active cold sore spit in my face and lips accidently while talking. any chance of infection?

Probably: NOT infectious without active lesion! Hope this helps! Dr Z

Transmitted without: It is true that this virus is transmitted when no lesion is present. People who carry the virus are shedding it several times a month as determined by cultures. So most transmission occurs between attacks. While there are many more virus units in an active sore, people are reluctant to kiss that. It is possible, but very unlikely, to spread herpes the way you describe. You probably already have it
