Sharing a drink

My friend had oral herpes and her sore had "almost healed". Whats the probability of contracting the virus from her by sharing a beer?

Thanks

Thanks Grace.
I was worried because i didn't even know if her oral herpes was HSV 1 or HSV 2.

Thanks again.

you won't get herpes this way.

as an adult, oral herpes is almost exclusively transmitted through romantic type kisses, not sharing food and drinks.
