Need more info: Did you get a sore on your lip after sharing the cigarette and drink? It is likely that you are already infected with Herpes Simplex 1 as are most adults. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex. Get HPV vaccine.

Probably OK: I think the virus is most likely to be present for about a week before the breakout and until the lesions heal. If it was a month before, it is quite unlikely that the virus would be transmitted. Time though to look at your relationship with tobacco?
