They have to have a break out of it on their mouth in order for you to have any chance of contracting herpes that way.
You would also have to take a sip with in seconds after they took a drink. Herpes doesn't live for more then a few seconds on surfaces and it doesn't survive in fluids fofr long periods of time.
You would have a higher chance of getting it if you kissed them on the mouth while they had a break out of a cold sore or fever blisters.

∙ 11y agoIt's possible to get herpes from a bite, if some one with a cold sore bites hard enough to break the skin.
It's unlikely to get herpes from drinking after some one. They would have to have a visible cold sore and you would have to take a sip with in seconds of them having a drink. Herpes doesn't like to live in fluids or on objects for long periods of time.
You're more likely to get it if some one with a cold sore kisses you on or around the mouth.

∙ 11y agoNo hun. Genital herpes doesn't commonly affect the mouth too. If they had cold sores (which are caused by oral herpes) then you could possibly get it by sharing cups or utensils with some one that has a cold sore.
But you're unlikely to get oral herpes that way. The herpes virus doesn't like to live for more then a few seconds when it's out side of the body. It also doesn't live in foods or drinks for long periods of time either.
The most common and most risky way to get it, is if you were kissed by some one that had a visible cold sore at the time they kissed you.

∙ 11y agoNO. Wrong type of herpes hun, genital herpes doesn't affect the mouth too. You're not going to get genital herpes from sharing water. It's possible to get the oral type of herpes (cold sores / fever blisters) that way if you shared a drink with some one that had a cold sore at the time.

Can you get herpes from someone that is not infected?
Herpes can only be passed through direct skin-to-skin contact with the infected area such as kissing, intercourse, genital-to-genital rubbing, vaginal intercourse.Herpes (both oral & genital) can be spread even when there are no symptoms or sores. This is called asymptomatic shedding.In case you have herpes, I recommend you to watch the #1 way to get rid of herpes Permanently - many.link/NewHerpesCure
How do children catch genital herpes?
Loving parents (this category includes grumpy, tired, in-need-of-a-break parents) do not pass on genital herpes to their children through the ‘normal’ intimacies of family life. But if it does happen that they get it, it has to be by way of sexual contact. This should be reported.
Can someone have genital herpes and recurring shingles...Can each disease perpetuate the other since they both put the immune system under stress?
The STD counselor on a Herpes support site herpesmate.com said herpes doesn't live outside the body for long..and you can not catch it from inanimate objects in a VERY RARE case if someone with herpes uses a towel after the shower and rubs enough of the "virus" off and someone uses it immediately after there is a VERY slim chance of them getting is since the towel is still damp.. but that would be a very rare occurrence.

How can a 3 yr old get genital herpes?
How do people get Genital Herpes?Herpes can only live outside of the human body for a short period of time; it can survive outside of an infected body for several minutes. It may be long enough to be passed from the contaminated hands of an infected person, to a person who does not yet have the infection. However, although it is possible to pass herpes in this way, it isunlikely for someone to catch herpes this way.Herpes can be spread even when the infected has no visible sores. It can be spread because the person is shedding the virus cells, or their sores are so tiny that they cannot be seen or felt.It is possible for an infected mother to pass this infection on to her child, during the birthing process.Herpes can be spread through a blood transfusion.Herpes can be spread by touching contaminated blood, when you have an open wound.Herpes can be spread by touching a sore, a lesion, or wound of an infected person.Herpes can be transmitted by transplant of an infected organ, to an uninfected organrecipient.Herpes can be spread by contaminated and dirty needles.But the most common way to spread herpes is by sexual intercourse, and herpes can be spread, even by those without symptoms of the infection.Oral sex allows spreading of the 'oral herpes' to the genitals.(It is not considered possible to catch herpes from hot tubs, toilet seats or towels, nor can it be spread by bathing with an infected person.)
If you have herpes and your partner does too but you are not breakin out can you kiss?
I haven't heard or read anywhere that HSV I, cold sores on the mouth, can be transmitted even when there are no cold sores present, but HSV II, genital herpes, CAN still be spread even when no sores are present on the genitals. That seems a little confusing. It is called "shedding." I would ask the family doctor. And just a reminder to others: you cannot catch genital herpes just by kissing someone who is having an outbreak. Cold sores on the mouth (HSV I) are not quite the same as sores on the genitals (HSVII) There is now more investigation into whether or not oral herpes can be spread to the genitals, also that genital herpes can be transmitted orally. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) is doing further research into it, but it does now seems possible that the two strains of the virus may have the potential for cross-contamination. I haven't found any information as to what this means and if the two viruses can transmutate into the other.
