      Hello Terri
      Hope you’re well.

      My question is about casual contact. When I wash my hands in my bathroom, I don’t turn the faucet off with my hands but with my elbow. I try to be very clean after going to the bathroom. Sometimes I’ll touch this faucet knob with my hands after using the bathroom or masturbating. Then after washing my hands I’ll still use my elbow to turn the faucet knob off. To note I have HSV-1 in my anus.
      When I was out last night, my friend was playing around and then touched my elbow with their hand. I had turned off my faucet knob earlier with my elbow, had touched the faucet knob a day prior after masturbating. There was no sexual contact, just them touching my elbow with their hand.

      Is there any risk in them touching my elbow with their hand after my elbow touched the faucet knob earlier? Should I say anything?

      I appreciate your help.
      Thank you

      This is not any risk for transmission and no, you should not say one word about this
