Now, why would a dog's mouth have herpes?  lol  Come on. That's getting into irrational, anxious thought.  No.  Please stay rational.  If your anxiety is getting too heavy, talk to someone about getting help for that.  Sure, dogs mouths have bacteria in them.  And you should use proper hygiene when a dog licks you.  But worrying about an STD?  Nope.  That's going too far.
