Cold sore

I have a cold sore.  I was recently tested and I know it is HIV 1.  Can you infect yourself, after touching it and another body part? I'm more worried about my eye (I use contacts) then genitals.  Can you infect yourself?  Not primary infection!

No. Your bodies antibodies do a great job preventing this.
