I currently have a scabbed over cold sore on my lip. I was removing Monistat from the packaging and inserted it for the treatment of a yeast infection. I'm concerned that because I was breathing with my mouth open while handling it, small saliva droplets could have gotten on it before I inserted it. Is this paranoia? I feel as if you can never really be too careful. I also just generally feel very paranoid about handling tampons as well while I have a cold sore for the same reason. Surely it's fairly unlikely that you would contract genital herpes this way though?
