cold sore transmission

I am wondering.. if someone has a cold sore and they touch it with their fingers..then they touch a door handle..is the virus then on the door handle? Can a person who has never had cold sores catch it by touching the handle then their mouth?

No, you can get it from skin to skin contact with the infected area

*Please remember you can still transmit (even when no signs)& catch herpes even while using a condom since it is transmitted from skin to skin contact or from sore secretions not inanimate objects*
