How long does hsv1 last on clothing? lets say my father touched my clothing after touching his sore and a day later i put that same piece of clothing on can i transmit hsv1 to myself?

The HSV-1 virus dies outside the mouth on surfaces in a few hours. The virus is contracted from skin to skin contact with open lesions, not from clothes or surfaces.
