A member asked:
I drank out of a straw after a girl that had already contracted herpes did, i didn't know until now so can i get herpes from it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: While there are 2 forms of herpes commonly transmitted, an oral and genital version, these will generally only infect the area contacted. Much of the population already has one form of herpes. If you do get symptoms, they will likely be at the mouth.
