Wait, you are saying that you are worried about the straw incident because the person who used the straw has genital herpes?
That whole situation does not put you at risk of acquiring HSV from this person. The virus doesn’t come up through their genitals and out through their mouth. The HSV genital variety stays in the group of nerves that innervate the boxer shorts area, it doesn’t come out through the mouth.
