| Initial infection with HSV-1 is caused by contact with mucosal surfaces or abraded skin (Whitley & Roizman, 2001) in regions such as the lips, mouth, and skin above the waist (Nahmias, Keyserling & Lee, 1989). An individual can be affected with HSV-1 through close nonsexual contact with an affected individual such as kissing (even on the cheek), sharing utensils and sharing drinks, as the virus can remain viable for a brief period of time on skin, clothing and plastics (Fatahzadeh & Schwartz, 2007). An individual is most contagious when they are exhibiting cold sores or lesions, but is still contagious without showing symptoms. | Initial infection with HSV-1 is caused by contact with mucosal surfaces or abraded skin (Whitley & Roizman, 2001) in regions such as the lips, mouth, and skin above the waist (Nahmias, Keyserling & Lee, 1989).
