Hey, this might be a weird question but I have ocd so someone kissed me on my neck and I got these thoughts that this is going to give me hsv 1, so I used hand sanitizer (70% alcohol) right away on the spot and all over my face and lips, then I went online to see if the hand sanitizer kills hsv, I didn't get a definitive answer so these thoughts came again that hand sanitizer didn't kill hsv and I got it when I touched my lips while using it so is it possible to get hsv 1 this way? Thank you.
