A member asked:
Could you pick up herpes simplex by sharing food?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It is shed in the saliva ...It is not a usually way to pick it up but it can happen. We know mono (also a herpes family virus) is spread sharing drinks and food so it is logical that cold sore herpes simplex 1 could be too.
