Is it easy to catch cold sore herpe virus from sharing a drink? ?!


Question: Is it easy to catch cold sore herpe virus from sharing a drink!? !?
There was a girl at this party that goes to my school!. I never heard rumors about her getting cold sores or anything but i accidently drank from her glass with coke!. Now what are the chances of me catching the virus a week later if she had no visible sore!? ( i checked the pictures and her lips were healthy ) Is this virus consider a sexual thing where you have to have skin to skin contact such as oral sex to get it!? (btw, i never kissed a girl in my life which is a shame because i am 17 and hate being kissed as a little child!. My parents would pull me away from anyone who tries and no one in my family has it either ) If the way of catching the virus is way to slim i doubt it was a cold sore!. Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I would say that your chances are good that you didn't catch anything!.!.!.try not to worry so much, and the answer by tweety bird is rude so dont listen to her, you may be young but you are just trying to learn which is a good thing! dont worry unless she has active herpes and cold sores on her lips then get checked out but the chances of getting this by sharing a drink when you don't have proof that she even has it is slim!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

My answer is contingent on whether the girl has HSV-1!.

The virus can be transmitted even between outbreaks but the chances are greatly reduced at this time!. And you can't "catch" the virus a week later unless you have just had contact!. HSV-1 (Herpes simplex virus type 1) isn't a "sexual thing" but oral herpes can be transmitted to the genitals and vice versa!.

Now if as far as you know this girl doesn't even have HSV-1, why are you so worried about getting it from her!?!?!?!?

I suggest you spend some time online at websites other than Yahoo! Answers and learn a whole lot more about all the herpesviruses!. And this isn't a typo either!. It's one word!. Herpesvirus!. Start learning NOW!. You are far too naive for your age, my young padawan!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
