Can you pass herpes from drinking?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very unlikely: It partially depends if you mean hsv1 or hsv2. These are usually passed with skin to skin contact. If you drink something from a glass or cup and then share with another, i guess in theory its possible but likely very rare, like maybe 1 case in a million or so.
