Indirect herpes transmission
Okay so i have hsv 1 and am currently having an outbreak and I am scared that I just gave my little brother the herps. he is like 6 or 8 if it matters. Basically my chin itched so i rubbed it against my sweater and my cold sore touched it and like 1-4 seconds later i leaned against the wall and then got of it and backed up and my little brother touched the exact spot my sweater that touched my cold sore touched the wall and I dont know if he did but say he touched his lips or eyes or god forbid scratched his genitals could this have infected him?
