Can i acquire hsv 1 and 2 if the sweat or saliva of infected person came into my finger? getting pcr hsv 1 and 2 blood test after week is conclusive?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No risk: No, you will not catch HSV1 or 2 by such contact, only by direct contact through sex or kissing. Don't waste your money on testing unless you have actual herpes blsiters/sores, if your doctor agrees. Don't get yourself tested without professional advice.
