A member asked:
If someone w/ a cold sore on their chin & spit on my skin near my eye while talking & i used hand sanitizer. what are my chances of getting hsv1?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Herpes Virus: Herpes virus is spread only through direct skin-to-skin contact or mucous membrane contact. Herpes simplex virus enters the body through broken area of skin or intact mucous membranes. Thus, it is very unlikely that you contacted hsv 1.
