Possibly: It is possible but not probable you will develop herpes. The guy didn't have an open lesion at the time . You said 50/50 of having it so he probeliy didn't look sore , she kissed hin then drak from you bottle. I suspect unless he had an open weeping sore and she got some on her lips then drank you bottle your pretty safe.

Relax: Transmission of herpes is VERY unlikely this way. Herpes on the lip, usually type one---hsv1------is already present in most adults. Most of them have no symptoms. If you do a blood test you will probably discover that you already carry hsv1 and maybe also hsv2. What in the world is a 50/50 chance of herpes???? Either you have it or you don't.
