A member asked:
Is hsv-2 virus present in the urine of an infected person? can i contract it if urine got around my genital area?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Low risk: HSV2 is not known to be transmitted by urine. It isn't possible to say there is zero risk, but it's very low, especially if the infected person wasn't having an active genital herpes outbreak at the time.
