A member asked:
Can i get oral hsv1 from kissing someone with my mouth closed? can i get it from drinking after someone? what about sharing toothbrushes?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: All of the above, can be the source of acquiring hsv1. However 90% of the population has hsv1 anyway.

Don't obsess!! : Don't obsess over hsv1. The potential to be exposed to it is very high, so high that by age 27 you probably have already been exposed and don't even know it! while you shouldn't be kissing someone with any type of active virus, drink out of the same glass won't cause an issue and how expensive is it to purchase your own toothbrush. Certainly cheaper that seeing a psychiatrist!
