      Hi terri i bought another set of questions

      1-I always tell people that i don’t like to be kissed on cheek or something like that so i don’t get OCD thoughts , but yesterday i was at wedding and someone there that i knew long time ago kissed me on cheek (the person does not know that i don’t like that) after that i wanted to feel the area to see if there was any cuts(there was no saliva) after a while i touched my LIPS with my finger that i used to feel the area.
      is there any risk of getting herpes this way.

      2-can you get herpes from hand shake because some websites say its possible but unlikely -_-

      3-for example if someone kissed my on cheek can the virus walk and enter my mouth

        Hi Terri i have a quick question and please tell me if i need to pay anything

        i know i asked you this before, but can you tell me why this cant happen

        my question : a lot of people eat there fingernail, so what if someone was eating his fingernails then cut someone with it

        could this transfer the virus

        Thank you, and sorry for my English

      Your English is fine and no, that is not a method of transmission of herpes.

        Thank you very much for your answers
        i have one last concern
        i asked you before if you can get a herpes from towel and you said if you use it immediately after someone then you can get it.

        lets say I used it after 10-30 minutes ,is the possibility still exists

        and i want to tell you that thank you very much for all your answers, you did reduce my OCD alot 😀

      A very remote possibility is there assuming the person whose towel it was shedding virus at the very time they used that towel to dry their genitals. Very remote

        Thanks Terri for the fast reply but you did misunderstanding me
        when i said “use towel” i meant to dry our hands and face after someone else not genitals
        so is the possibility still exists to get (hsv 1)

        and as i told you before, where i live, we dont have sex before marriage so hsv 2 is not my concern.

        Thank you

      The risk with HSV 1 is less because drying only your face, there is no open area like genitals that would become infected, so no, no worries. And no worries about someone touching your lip either.

        if sharing food is OK why would you get hsv 1 from towel ?

        I watched a video saying that you can get hsv 1/2 from towels
        like if someone spits on it by accident or you use someones towel by accident

        but on the other hand 90% of websites saying you cant, and when i asked you before you said if you use it immediately

        so can i still get hsv if i use it 30 mins later ?

        and please tell me if i need to pay another set of questions.
        Thanks

      I don’t believe that you can acquire HSV 1 from towels, no.
      Sharing food is fine.
