Is it possible to catch herpes from sharing a drink with someone who has cold sores within 5 seconds?I accidentally shared a drink with my mom when she had a cold sore. It was dried up at the time, but I took a sip within 5-6 seconds of her taking a sip. The straw was kind of big (it was a boba straw). The drink was cold, if that reduces transmission at all. What is the risk of catching herpes this way? It's been 8 days since this exposure and I have not had any symptoms of herpes. I have, however, been stressed out of my mind and barely getting any sleep, causing me to get sick with a cold. So my immunity is definitely low. I haven't seen anyone answer this question specifically. A lot of questions are about taking a sip within a minute but mine as almost immediate.
