herpes via air breath blown???

Question

I was walking home and i thought this lady might have needed bus money since she was at the bus stop but she seemed to be high and said she was looking for work and then for some reason blew in my face and asked if i was hot since i was sweating and giggled i didnt like this at all especially after i seen what seemed to be like a scabbed cold sore on her bottom jaw and i ran home and put peroxide and liquid dish soap on my face and scrubbedn and then jumped in a hot shower

please when she did it i tried not to breat or anything i had my head kinda turned and my jaw caught the breath and i was sweating wich meant my pores coulda been open

do note that my house was les that 2 mins away waking distance

i just turned 18 im a virgin im to young for this


sorry for my punctuation

added later

thanx y'all i was scared i had just come from the bathroom mirror checking my face for any early signs and then in the back of my head i was like hmm my face does itch (though it would be a symptom) but i did put dish soap on it and my face is dry lol

i just got bloodwork done at the free clinic the other day test will be back in a week and i didn't want something like this to mess it up

i hope they find a cure for that simple disease new studies show its linked to Alzheimer's too :( but type 1 fights cancer

Answer 1

herpes can only be spread through direct contact, hence kissing, sex, any bodily fluids. Never can be transmitted airborne. She would have had to have kissed your mouth, nose, genitals, etc. because Herpes can only form on mucous membrain, e.i.- the wierd pink tissue inside our noses, ears, mouth, genitals, etc.

No man don't worry about getting herpes unless she blew on something else hehe but you are a virgin so never mind. Anyways you would be the first one to ever get herpes that way. Also for future reference, running home and putting soap and peroxide on after a possible exposure to herpes will never make it go away.

Answer 5

If you could get herpes from the air, EVERYONE would have it! You have to actually touch one of your susceptible mucous membranes directly to her sore to catch it, like by kissing her for example. And I'm assuming you didn't kiss her. :)

Incidentally, 90% of people already have the cold sore virus and just don't have any symptoms because their immune systems keep it at bay, so chances are you have it and you're actually immune to catching it again.

Also, if the sore was on her jaw, not on her lips... It might very well have been a sore from doing meth (you said she seemed high!), not a cold sore, and not contagious at all. Cold sores are usually on the lips or very close to them.

But none of that really matters because you can't catch it from the air, ever! That's completely impossible. Don't worry about it!

Answer 6

Oh, hon. Stop worrying. You aren't going to get herpes because someone blew on you, even if your pores were open. Stop worrying about it. It's virtually impossible to contract herpes that way. Go on with your life. You're fine. Don't give it another thought.

Answer 7

you cannot get herpes by someone breathing on you. you need skin to skin contact.

Answer 8

herpes could be airborne? of course not! it could only be transmitted through direct skin contact.. stop freaking out, your over reacting..dnt be paranoid man!

Answer 9

You can only catch it if you touch it.It's a touching disease.Any skin contact with it and you have it for life.
