A member asked:
Will " quick wash " washing machine option kill hsv1 & hsv2? or do i have to put it on normal cycle to kill the virus?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
HSV1 and 2 are very fragile viruses that are instantly killed by even the most minuscule amounts of laundry detergent or soap. Any laundry cycle will do it. But it doesn't matter: nobody ever gets herpes (or any STD) from contaminated clothing. This is nothing to worry about.
