should I be worried

I had lunch with a friend today. before leaving my friend kissed my cheek. I just wanted to know if I should be worried? I didn't see any sores or anything worrisome on her mouth. I went to bathroom to wash my face with soap and water. Is it possible if there was herpes, that when washing face it could infect my mouth as the water ran down face and landed on corner of my lip?

I don't think I'd worry like that every time you get a little kiss on the cheek from a friend.  You know this friend to have herpes 1? I think you are likely over reacting.
