How likely is it to spread herpes by sharing a soda can or cup? ?

Question

I heard that the person needs to have blisters and even if they do have it the fluid in the blisters need to enter a cut or something to get the virus. I was very worried about a friend who puts his health on the line. He went to a club and told me he kissed all these random girls and felt their ***. a week later i shared a can of mango juice with him but his lip seem fine like always. I knew him for 6 years and never saw his lip/mouth break out into a cold sore. It's not only me that he sharings drinks with.... He very popular and he shared drinks, weed with all my other friends. 2 weeks after that i got an infection at the corner of my mouth and didn't make a big deal out of it but now i'm curious of what it was. If it is a cold sore no ones going to believe me because they know i am the most paranoid kid in highschool to get sick. I have a habit of washing my hands everytime i go out and come back, never kissed anyone in the lip, never done oral s*x, no one in my family has it, they parents wouldn't let anyone kiss me as a child. My mom is super strict, she knows everything i do everyday to keep me out from any type of harm to my health. So the only thing i can think of is sharing a drink with someone but it's even hard for me to believe i got it that way cause he never gets an outbreak or rumored to have HSV-1. So how likely is it to spread the virus from sharing a soda can or cup.

Answer 1

Bet you didnt know that 90% of the population has been exposed to the HSV-1 virus. If you dont pick it up from this guy, you'll pick it up somewhere else. You can get it from sharing drinks, but usually only if they have a sore, even if they dont, its possible, just less likely.  

Answer 2

Yes, the virus can be spread by sharing a cup with someone who has it. And it can spread in the absence of any visible sores. About 90% of all people have been exposed the virus by the time they reach adulthood. Some have breakouts frequently while others carry the virus and never have a single cold sore.

Answer 3

You do have to have a visable sore, (cold sore) but you can get herpes from sharing a soda or a cup, HSV 1-  watch for sores before sharing, but you can get it even if sores aren't visable.  anything that your lips touch and someone elses, could tranfer HSV 1

Answer 4

It is possible, but not very likely, I wouldn't worry about it. And if it doesn't go away, well, then you'll know.
