Need some answers..

Hey well heres the story

She told me she has herpes, I partied with her and we drank out of the same cup, she drank from 1 side and then passed it to me and I flipped it the other way and took a sip.. (probably 5 seconds or so passed before I drank from it)

she says she has had no cold sores on her lips ever and no outbreak for a while.

Should I be worried?

I just need assurance that you cannot get herpes from drinking the same liquid in the cup or if she drank from the side I touched previously..

I know this sounds stupid and is probably no risk but I have alot going on for me and I should of been more careful.

I have read online that yes it is possible and its freaking me out..

The virus cannot transfer and live in any viable quantity, this is zero risk.

You may already have oral HSV1 and just not know it.

There is no real need to test for an oral HSV1. If a person does not get symptoms after an exposure (and you didn't have an exposure) within in a week then they either have the virus or were not infected.

Its not in the saliva and saliva contains digestive enzimes that kill things. Saliva is the bodies first line of defense against all infections trying to enter the body.
