A member asked:

If you accidentally hit someone in the face with an active cold sore, and wash your hands right away afterwards. can you still get the hsv1 virus?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Most probably: Not. Practicing good hygiene is paramount in avoiding infections / problems. You were smart to wash right away. Hope this helps.
