I am assuming your HSV 1 outbreak is oral
Is it likely that I spread the virus by kissing my toddler on the cheek?
No, the cheek is too thick for virus to penetrate without a break in the skin for entry
Is it likely that I spread the virus by sharing fruit snacks (I only had one, which he handed me one out of his bag, so he touched my hand before eating another one)?
No
Is it likely that I transmitted the virus when I got hit on the lip?
No
How long would it take for them to show symptoms if either were infected?
2-10 days
Is it ok to still snuggle my children while I have an OB on my lip as long as they do not touch it?
Yes, that’s just fine, as long as they don’t kiss you.
