Hello guys,i am sorry to disturb you for something so petty! But i have a friend who has oral herpes,so i suggested to bring him to hospital but before that i made him wash his hands with alcohol before coming into contact with me and he already had his mask on his mouth to cover the sore! but he thought it would be funny to touch my hand after he had already washed his hands with alcohol but the thing is that i didnt look at him when he washed his hands and i dont know if he did it right,but after he touched me i washed my hands with alcohol also but there is a small lesion on my finger and i am afraid that the virus got there rolleyes rolleyes so anyone please tell me if i am being paranoid? rolleyes

    Yes, you are being way too paranoid and I pity your friend who has been made to feel like a leper for a simple cold sore. The alcohol handwashing, face mask and hospital visit (who goes to a hospital over a cold sore?) are very over the top and unnecessary.

    Thinkin it's alright to be over cautious,

    My sister has HSV-1 (oral) & i have HSV-2 (genital)

    This isn't something we have not talked of but now i know she has it (mom told me when i told her of my virus). Not gonna drink after her and will take any other precautions for neither of us to be infected with the other. Have blisters that pop up every so often on my mouth, but who knows ...

    My doctor wasn't real clear with the diagnosis as far as clearly telling me which infected me.

    Never undermine yourself, but always accept friends for who they are not by what they have
