Hi mere drinking of water from the glass which the patient used cannot be source of infection.if ur immunity is less then there is a chance of herpes infection.we cannot get herpes one and two at the same time expect in hiv or hbs ag infected individuals.even then use propylactic dose of zovirax like 400 mg twice daily to prevent from protracting infection
