Can I get oral herpes by sharing a drink with someone with HSV-1 but no outbreak?
I took a sip from a friend's bottle of beer and gave him a back massage. He has HSV-1&2, but he hasn't had cold sores since middle school. we didn't kiss or have any sexual behavior, what's the chance to get oral herpes and genital heroes? I'm so worried and whenever there is a pimple near my lips i couldn't stop checking on it.
Is it possible. Yes is it a real life concern for a healthy adult? No
Your chances of this happening when no cold sore is present is just about zero

All I can say for sure is you didn't get hsv1 from what you describe. So if you have never had a cold sore than it's a pimple.
Hope that helps a little

But my mouth has touched where he touched on the same bottle. I did the research and it says that even if there is no outbreak , it can still be transmitted by sharing drinks. Please help to explain me..
Your chances are zero. No risk here at all.
