A member asked:
I was wondering if is possible to get herpes by lying down on massage bed without a shirt on (through nipples) and/or by massage guy touching the paper face rest thing before my mouth and face touched it?

No, transmission is direct, not through inanimate surfaces, many times confusion is created as the virus, already present, may flare up due to stress or mechanical irritation and/or mild trauma. Check cdc.gov for reliable information regarding herpes transmission.

It would be extremely unusual. Direct human contact is the usual. Good Luck
