Today I saw a friend of mine and I hugged her and she kissed me on the cheek and then after that I realized she had a cold sore, and no I'm scared she gave me herpes. I didn't have broken skin I guess but I have some dry pimples on the cheek I guess so I don't know if the virus can pass through. She kissed on the cheek for like 3 or 4 seconds but I'm scared she infected me. Sorry if I sound like an idiot, but I have never got a cold sore in my 22 years of life and no one in my family either except one of my brother who doesn't have a remarkable life, but so many people including me are paranoid about cold sores and sometimes stigmatize you for that and being a young woman who has to socialize a lot every day it'd be difficult and also I have depression and low self steem so it would affect me a lot I guess. My face has been itching since that moment don't know if I'm overreacting. So, it's possible to get herpees by a kiss on the cheek? What are the chances? Thank you in advance.
