A member asked:
If someone has oral hsv2 and uses a fork, then rinses it with cold water and someone else then uses the fork immediately after. will that person then contract oral hsv2?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It is possible , yes. Utensils, plates and cups should all be washed in hot soapy water after use. Not only to remove food which can grow bacteria, but to remove viruses of many kinds. Professional kitchens are required to have a high temperature sanitizing dishwasher in order to prevent transfer of bacteria and viruses.
