A member asked:
If a person drank from a beer can and then poured some into a clean cup, and i drank it out of a clean cup, what are the chances getting oral herpes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No risk, no worry: Herpes is rarely if ever transmitted by such indirect contact. The main risk of oral herpes is from kissing someone with a visible outbreak of oral herpes (cold sores).
