A member asked:
Can you get herpes from a brazilian wax? can it survive on the mat/bed, or in the wax? paranoid.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Wax: I doubt that a virus could survive on hot Brazillian wax, but other infection can set in if poor techniques are used. If someone with a herpes outbreak sheds the virus on the table or mat it could be transmitted shortly thereafter. It's important to be treated by skilled, hygienic and careful providers of this type of service.
