Worried about a problem

Well this is embarrassing but can you get an STD, such as syphilis, or any other, on your genital area by sharing a drink with a person? Even if the person never touches you in "that" area?

Agree with Barn Babe.  And Fyi, it's not possible to get a cold sore from sharing a drink b/c the virus has to be massaged in to the skin, but oral herpes isn't an std anyway.

Hi, I doubt that can happen.  Maybe if the person had an std, and a sore on their mouth, and you shared the drink... it possibly could be transfered, but most likely you would get a sore you your mouth.  Most std's i have read about show up where they entered the body.
