My friend and I were doing some labouring work and he had a coldsore sore, which was beginning to heal, on his lip. He wiped his face/mouth on my towel. Not long afterwards I wiped my face on it and my lips came into contact with his saliva. I washed my lips with water soon after.

Today I have a sore throat.

Could I have contracted HSV-1? What is the likelihood?

Thanks.

Hi,

I don't think you get sore throat by being exposed to the HSV virus in that way, even if you were...

Mostly, you get HSV virus by skin-to-skin contact.

You washed your lip quickly, besides... I doubt if you got the virus in that way.... possibility of getting the virus in that way is very small...

You don't have to worry so much, I think...

Thanks for the reply.

ive heard that it requires certain 'perfect' conditions to be met for transmission. i washed my lip around a minute later quite thorouly. he was sure that it was healing and later at the pub offered to share a drink with us, and he said he is very careful when it comes to ensuring he dosnt transmit it. hopefully i havent got it. paranoia is annoying. by the way, what was the "you dont have to worry so much, i think..." meant to mean?

Hi,

Sorry. I just meant .. "don't worry". :D

Yeah... in the study, they say that there are possibility that you can get infected from wet towel which someone who has sore used. But... I never heard the actual case.

This virus can't live long in oxygenated envoronments. ( This is what people are talking about here in this forum... You see the posts about oxygen therapy and ozone therapy....?)

Anyway, I think you're fine.

Best..

Faith

      SUCCESS STORY: Herpes is an opportunity to built trust and connection through vulnerability.

      By Jeremy Spokein · Posted

      Yes, but every married person who I found out about that has this waited 6-8 months into the relationship to disclose it. But maybe you're right. If I had told her 6-7 months in, she'd still have Googled it and flipped out, and maybe it would have been harder then. I don't know. I don't see myself going through this level of pain and rejection so easily next time. I really don't. I'm taking the meds. I use protection. It's been almost a decade since I've had it so I'm not worried about shedding or passing it on so easily. British studies confirm that the first 2 years are the most contagious and we're passed that. I'm just over this. I've never been in so much emotional pain in my life.

      Is this herpes? I can’t find any pics that match this exactly and my symptoms don’t really match. I don’t have really any of the typical herpes symptoms other than pictured, so I figured it could be friction as I have recently been having a lot of sex with a new partner. Way more than normal. Started having unprotected sex about 3 - 4 weeks ago. These symptoms only started about 3-4 days ago. Felt burning in some areas and only some very few tiny red areas/spots appeared. Almost shiny in appearance. Seems to settle very quickly. They were only present for a day or so. Also had some very mild irritation after I pee but not during. This spot has 2 small red lumps that are now dry around the outside. It’s like it’s been rubbed off and the skin is dry and shiny underneath. It doesn’t seem to be lesion. There was no puss or any leakage, nor was the skin ever red under them. They also got better within a day or so. I still have red spots around but they are very small and not bunched together and some general discomfort but I feel it’s because I’ve touched it so much! Stressing a bit!  my research tells me friction burn/blister , Fungal ,herpes a bit of it all! I have no idea! Please help! Thanks in advance.

      @EssenceL25 there really isn't a question mark around the source, it's your latest partner. The median time from infection to an outbreak of lesions upon initial infection is 4 days.  The only thing that isn't certain is the type I suggest.
