A member asked:
Can you get infected with genital herpes if you touched your own urine and then touch your face ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Herpes: That sounds very unlikely. Herpes can spread fairly easily through contact with body fluids. When in doubt, a blood test can confirm or exclude herpes 1 or 2.
