The main way that herpes simplex type 1 (HSV-1) is transmitted is through direct skin-to-skin contact with an infected person's lesions. Transmission through objects like a glass is very rare, as the virus does not survive long on surfaces. If there were no visible lesions on the person's lips and your lips were not broken, it is highly unlikely that you would have been infected in this situation.
