Cab you get oral herpes from drinking after someone who has genital herpes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Contagious: Genital herpes is usually transmitted by contact with the genital area. If a person with eruptions touches your glass it's possible for the virus to be transmitted to you that way. Genital herpes virus can also cause herpes infection in the oral area.
