A member asked:
If you have herpes 1 and don't have any breakouts is there any chance of spreading it by using the same cup or utensils?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very low risk: Oral herpes is spread primarily by kissing or other direct contact with the infected person's mouth during an outbreak. It is rarely transmitted by shared utensils. To be completely safe, try not to share these things when the infected person has a cold sore. Otherwise don't worry about it.
