Dear Alice,
Skin-to-skin contact confuses me. Does the uninfected person have to have an opening in the skin for the virus to enter? Or can the simple act of the infected shedding skin touching the skin of the uninfected person transfer the virus? Also, if i keep an antiviral cream on my skin all the time, even in times when there are no symptoms, will that keep the shedding virus at bay and reduce the possibility of transmission?
