herpes contract?

Hi, a homeless lady just spit in my face for "walking in her territority". Am I at risk for oral herpes? I'm terrified because the large spit/slavia touched my lips.

you are of no risk for anything std related at all from this. things like cold, flu and gi bug viruses yes but not any of the std's.

Hi grace, thank you for your reply. I know this is not the std forum but do you know if I'm at risk for anything? The doc said the highest risk is herpes and all other things (such as HIV and Hep) are theoritical.
