A member asked:
Can herpes be received if i drink from water bottle after someone who has it but not outbreak?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very unlikely: Maybe even impossible. It is not clear if there is any risk at all from such indirect contact. That's assuming that the infected individual is shedding virus but not yet symptomatic, which though not likely is not impossible. Sharing a water bottle is not wise, but Herpes is the least of your concerns.
