Yes that and several other communicable diseases, jewellery should never be "shared". The fine imperfections in the metal or plastic can hold bacteria and viruses that can "cross contaminate" the other person. This why body piercing studios will never pierce you with jewellery you bring into the shop unless they sterilize it in an "autoclave".

Boiling, washing, soaking in alcohol will not "sterilize" anything, disinfect maybe but "sterilize" NO. So with all the possible infections you can get from sharing jewellery, not with standing your concern about Herpies, there is also Staph, Strep, HIV, Meningitis, Hepatitis, Tetanus, MRSA and a few other nasties out there you should also be concerned about.
