A member asked:
Can someone contract herpes if they share a drink but use different straws?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Low probability: Herpes Simplex infection is transmitted through bodily fluids so if there was no contact with saliva then the chances are low. But in any case infection is present in 60% of the general population from childhood
