I think it is possible, but not terribly
likely. You can check these sites for

"How do you get Herpes?
Herpes is spread by direct skin to skin
contact. Unlike a flu virus that you can
get through the air, herpes spreads by
direct contact, that is, directly from the
site of infection to the site of contact.
For example, if you have a cold sore and
kiss someone, you can transfer the virus
to their mouth. Similarly, if you have
active genital herpes and have vaginal or
anal intercourse, you can give your
partner genital herpes. Finally, if you
have a cold sore and put your mouth on
your partners genitals (oral sex), you can
give your partner genital herpes."

"Herpes simplex virus (HSV) does not
survive for very long outside of the human
body. However, the virus may survive
longer if the right temperature and
moisture conditions were maintained or in
the presence of blood. Transmission of
herpes generally requires direct contact
involving the mucous membranes (e.g.,
kissing, sexual contact). If your roommate
has frequent cold sores, it would be
better not to drink from the same milk
box. It would also be advisable not to
share the same towel if she has outbreaks
of genital herpes. However, milk boxes and
towels are not a frequent source of HSV
infection - unprotected sex is."
