Yes, if you have HSV-1 orally (usually causing cold sores), there is a possibility of spreading it to others through sharing drinks or food. While the risk of transmission this way is generally low compared to direct skin-to-skin contact during kissing or aution should still be taken. It's advisable not to share items that come into contact with your mouth when you have an active outbreak. If in doubt, consult healthcare professionals for specific guidance on managing and preventing herpes spread effectively.
