A member asked:
I recently shared a spoon with someone, can i get oral herpes? no sign of breakout. spoon went back in soup before i used.

Unlikely : But not impossible. Even if the individual you shared a spoon with did not have an active outbreak, the virus could still be shedding and contactable. Most primary hsv-1 infections are asymptomatic and only 20 to 25 percent of patients ever recall an outbreak. So you may have contracted it!
