Ok I really need a question answered, it's been bugging me for about a week now and I would like to know if this is possible, ok, I just found out that my one friend has Herpes Type 2(Genital), she's also friends with my girlfriend, we had gone out to eat, and my friend who is infected took a drink from my girlfriend's drink without my girlfriend realizing it, I've been french kissing her the past couple of days and have become worried that I might've caught it, can anyone please help???

No, Genital herpes only affects the genitals. Even if she has cold sores (oral herpes), you cannot pass by sharing drinks.
