[Question #4731] Spreading herpes through glass

Hello I have a question.
I had a beginning herpes infection (cold sore?) on my mouth. I shared a glass with someone else. We used different sides of the glass though. Is there a change that I infected her by this? Through the water in the glass? The cold sore blister was on the inside of my lip. Do I need to warn her that she don't spread it to her boyfriend? (When they have oral sex)
Thank you in advance!

No, this is not a concern and you do not need to warn her. Could it also have been a canker sore?
Even if it was a herpes sore, it is not transmitted in this way. You are OK!

Thank you very much for your reply. I have a follow up question about herpes. Since yesterday my vagina is a bit soar and irritated at one side. Yesterday it even bleeded a bit. I looked at it today with a mirror and i dont see any wounds or blisters (it only feels still iritated) But could it be that I spread the herpes from my mouth to my vagina with my fingers? It can not be another std because i got tested (except for herpes and genital warts) Also, for the past couple of weeks, it sometimes itches.
And the the second question, would it be herpes,could I pass this through to someone by the following:
1. By sharing toilet seats.
2. By sharing toilet seats while my used toilet paper accidentily touched the toilet seat?
3. Sometimes when i sit somewhere, i leave a wet spot. If someone touches this with their hands, is that a risk? (When the wet spot is some vaginalfluid)
This is very important to me because a couple of friends of mine are pergnant at the moment.
Thank you in advance!

Once a cold sore infection is well established in your body and you've mounted an immune response (takes about 4 months from new infection), it is highly unlikely that you would transfer the virus to a new location on your body.
1. no
2. no
3. Zero risk.
