I got canker sore and use same spoon w/ people who has herpes. she didn't have lesions right now. i start acyclovir 20 min later. will i get infected?

Relax: Herpes on the face, hsv1, is very common but most people have no symptoms. Most likely you already carry hsv1 and cannot get it again. People who have the virus will sometimes have it on the lip, but most days there is no virus there in the absence of a sore. So your risk is small.
