Answers:
Herpes prefers a "wet area" of the body...
Like genitals, mouth, eyes & nose
It can be carried for a VERY short time on the hands... like if you scratch your cold sore on your mouth and then touch someone's genitals.
For instance: I got ocular (eye) herpes from my sister using my eyeliner as a lipliner when she had a cold sore...and then I used it right after her in my eye
I've also got a friend who has herpes on her thigh - not exactly a "wet area" but some guys scrotum rubbed on her thigh enough - that she now gets outbreaks there... so it's possibleHealth Question & Answer

People develop herpetic whitlow when they come into contact with areas already infected with HSV, either on their own bodies or on someone else's body. Usually, there is a break in the skin, especially a torn cuticle at the base of the fingernail, which allows the virus to enter the finger tissue and establish an infection. HSV-1 causes approximately 60% of herpetic whitlow infections, while HSV-2 causes the remaining 40%.
