What is the risk of contracting herpes from being exposed to someone with herpes?
Obviously, I think you are aware (or should be) that if you have ANY sexual contact with someone who has herpes, whether it be oral, intercourse, anal sex...even kissing can pass on this nasty virus. Even if they show no visible signs of an outbreak, theres still a chance you can and WILL get herpes. Some people NEVER show any type of symptom of herpes, but yet carry the virus! It lays dormant in the body and is uncurable. Its tricky, but always use a condom...these days you cant trust anybody!
Now, if your just forced to live with, hangout with, or otherwise have a friend who has herpes and your worried they will pass it to you...I wouldn't worry. Just DO NOT share razors, towels etc. Dont share ANYTHING with the infected person.
