HPV is spread by sexual and skin contact (by her infected area touching your bare skin by cuddling).
It can't be spread by sharing a cup unless she has warts in her mouth - which is rare. The HPV infection is usually around the vaginal, vulva, and anal area, but it can spread by scratching the warts.
Your friend has no chance of catching it unless she sleeps with this girl.
