A member asked:
Can herpes survive in make-up like (liquid) eyeliner, mascara and lipsticks? or will the virus die after a few hours?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Herpes simplex: This virus has the potential to survive outside the body for several hours, although transmission from inanimate objects has not been well documented, and the overwhelming majority of individuals get this by direct contact person to person.
