A member asked:
Can you contract herpes if a possibly infected person uses your razor on his/her pubic area and then you, yourself use the same razor, because the infected person in question didnt tell me?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very low likelihood. Not entirely impossible, just low likelihood. Usual spread is direct skin-to-skin or via body secretions (saliva, vaginal secretions, etc).

Hi, I recently received oral sex about 3 days ago and i noticed a little bump on the labia. No itch or burn. I do use a razor so can it be a cut from that or more serious? Also, i kissed the person so if it was herpes wouldnt it be on my mouth too?
