A member asked:

Can you get hsv1 on your hand if you touch a pillow with fresh drool on it?(i didnt immediately wash my hands) it was somewhat of a large amount and i have know idea if my friend gets cold sores or not?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Just "hand contact" with saliva on a pillow from another individual will not allow transmission of HSV I, but unconscious contact with your hand around mucosal (oral ) surfaces (lips, inner cheeks) may transmit HSV virus, since it is exceptionally communicable.
