A member asked:
Can you get herpes from drinking after a person who has it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Contagious: If you mean drinking from the same glass that the person with herpes uses, it can be spread to you especially if that person has an active eruption. Oral contact with the herpes virus transmits it. If you have an immunity to the herpes virus you may not break out with the sores.
