A member asked:
Can you get herpes from stretching on the floor at the gym?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: You cannot. Unless you have your genitals rub the secretions of someone who has essentially left a pool of them on the floor. Viruses and bacteria do not live for very long on any hard surface, such as toilet seats, door handles, or other similar places.
