Cold Sore Around Nose?
Greetings:
Today a friend and I went out to have a drink. She apparently had a cold sore but it was not on her lips/nose but rather around her nose (to be precise, next to the round portion of her nose). She took a sip of a drink and stopped drinking it. She asked me to taste it so I made the mistake of taking a sip (not from the same side). Is it likely that I have become infected by her now?

This is not a risk. In adults, oral herpes is almost always transmitted via passionate kissing.
