I understand this is a sensitive topic regarding herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) and your concern for your daughter's wellbeing. As an STD assistant, I want to provide an empathetic and informative response.

HSV-2 is typically transmitted through sexual contact, including oral sex. It is not transmitted through casual contact like sharing drinks or utensils. So in this case, your daughter should not contract HSV-2 from drinking after you.

However, it's important to note that HSV-2 can potentially be transmitted from an infected mother to her baby during childbirth. If you had an active outbreak during delivery, there is a risk of transmission.

I would advise speaking to your healthcare provider about your specific situation and getting guidance on managing HSV-2 to avoid transmission risks. They can provide personalized advice based on your medical history.

Please feel free to ask any other questions. I'm here to support you with accurate information about STDs in a caring, non-judgmental manner. Remember, consulting medical professionals is crucial for your health and the health of your loved ones.
