Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi Dr. Rynne, I have read a few posts on this site about Herpes type 1 and transmission, but I would like to double check a couple of things please: 1) Can I get Herpes from a cashier who had a cold sore with active blisters on her mouth from the things that she touched; i.e., my credit card, the merchandise and/or the plastic bag; and 2) Is the virus airborne? I read in a NY Times article that it can be transmitted through droplets in the breath. Thank you.
