A member asked:
If my friend has herpes and i wore her bathing suit a day or so after she did, could i get herpes from that?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Extremely unlikely: This is an old wives' tale. You get genital herpes only by having sex with an infected person. There has never been a proved case from sharing intimate clothing, towels, bathrooms, etc.
