Highly unlikely.  The nasal cavity, lips and eyes are what are typically involved in facial herpes (a VERY common virus that even children often get). Even touching a spot that was kissed and then your eyes.  That's really an unlikely scenario.  This really doesn't sound like something I'd be concerned about.
