A member asked:
What is the risk of transmission as a physio that touched arms, hands, back of client who has hsv2? washed hands for 2min after before using bathroom.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No risk, no worry: HSV2 is not transmitted by medical procedures or in medical offices, or by physical therapy or massage. Absolutely no risk. The only way to catch HSV2 is through sexual contact with an infected person. Don't worry about this.
