What to do if i shared a cigarette with someone who has herpes do i have it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It depends: On many factors. Do they have active sores? What type of herpes are you referring to - oral herpes or genital herpes? Do you have a history of oral herpes? Where was the herpetic lesion located on the person whom you shared the cigarette if not oral or genital? Herpes can be transmitted by close personal contact obviously but I have too little information to answer your question accurately.
