Hsv-1 through Spit?
Hi everyone, I have a bit of a concern. So recently, I was out with a friend who had a history of hsv 1. We sat down in front of one another and while my friend was talking. She accidentally spit little drops on to my lips and in mouth. Disgusted, I now feel paranoid and anxious if I'm at risk of contracting it this way. Also if a drop of that person's saliva did fall on to your lips and you intentionally licked it, would that cause enough friction to potentially get it?
Nope

Hi, may I get a reason why I wouldn't be able to contract it. I just want to calm my nerves.
There needs to be a sufficient amount of the virus and skin to skin contact for transmission.
