Can you get a STD from drinking after someone who has an oral STD?


Question:


Answers:
YES. It can be transmitted!

Other Answers:
Herpes Simplex 1 and 2 can still be transmitted without the infected individual having an open sore, but drinking out of a glass of someone who is undergoing an outbreak is not recommended. The virus can be "shed" from the individuals epithelial layer (skin) onto the glass/container, but the transmission rate to another person is not very high. Since there is no cure for HSV, always use precaution when sharing utensils, glasses, etc.
