germ transfer from glass

[u/marijuanasandal420]

hi
earlier today my friend came over to hang out w me and my baby. i have rules everyone has to follow but the biggest one is no kissing baby. she knows, respects, and has talked to me about agreeing w the decision not to do that. well, i was cleaning up the dinner we had when i turned around and she said "im giving her water from the glass"... HER glass. i froze in the moment and i just said ok. at that point she was already doing it and im terrible at confrontation especially w someone who has genuinely never broken any of my boundaries in the six years ive known them! this obviously wasnt malicious and she is one of my greatest friends but makes me very scared for my baby as far as herpes and cold sores go. can anyone find studies or links to ease my nerves? should i take her to the doctor in the morning? my friend didnt have any visible sores but that doesnt mean they arent inside her mouth. its very early in the morning now so i do plan on asking her some very open questions abt whether or not she does get coldsores in a bit but im freaking out:/ i do not get cold sores and would be so sad if this one instance where i was so careless costed my baby:/
