A member asked:
If someone with a cold sore spit came on my finger which had an open cut on my finger can there cold sore spread on my finger or would i get hsv1?

I think you're the same persons who asked the same question about spit on lips, and maybe others on eye contact with saliva. This also is no risk for HSV1. You will never get HSV1 until and unless someone with active infection kisses or performs oral sex on you.
