A member asked:

Can you get herpes if someone touches there cold sore and then hands clean underwear and clothes to you? is it safe to wear them?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not likely: It's not impossible, but the herpes virus doesn't survive for long on clothing. Even if you put on the underwear right away, it would be unlikely that you would get herpes.
