Cold sores and trandmission
A friend of mine who has a history of cold sores kissed me on the area of the corner of my eye, I didnt think much of it, yet another friend made a comment (once our friend was gone) about being careful about kisses from her. Of course, I go online and have contrasting opinions on this. Is there any risk of transmission in such a situation? Should I be worried at all, kind of starting to be. Thank you for a replies.
as an adult, oral herpes is almost exclusively transmitted through romantic type kisses, not social pecks. You aren't likely to contract hsv1 from this
