A member asked:
Can someone gets genital herpes w/o any sort of sexual activity? i know it can happen from birth, but how about toilets and towels?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not from toilets.: "You will not get herpes from toilet seats, bedding, or swimming pools, or from touching objects around you such as silverware, soap, or towels." REF: https://www.cdc.gov/std/herpes/stdfact-herpes.htm It can be spread through saliva or skin contact with or without obvious lesions.
