A member asked:
Is it possible to get oral herpes, specifically, from sharing a glass with someone? if so, how soon could it develop?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very rare: In general, HSV is transmitted only by direct skin to skin contact with an infected person, like kissing or sex. The virus is rarely if ever transmitted by sharing drinking or eating utensils. Also not by shared towels, clothing, or toilets. Whenever HSV is caught, symptoms usually start 3-5 days later, sometimes up to 10-14 days.
