A member asked:

I didnt realize i was getting a cold sore and kissed my 1 year old nephew on the cheek. part of my lip feels a little raised but never opens or forms a vesiclehow probable is it tht i passed him hsv?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Since a "one year old" is commonly touching his face and inserting fingers into his mouth, transmission of HSV I is possible. Ask your pediatrician for guidance for treatment of active lesions.
