Possible cold sore

Question

Possible cold sore

Asked for Female, 21 Years

Can I get a cold sore from sharing a tooth brush with a person that had it about 10 years ago. I accidentally used the wrong tooth brush. It was dry it that makes it any better. I only put the toothbrush on my tongue once I realized I used a bunch of mouthwash. I do have the vaccines against herpes as well. The roof of my tongue also has a slight tear from eating something.
