A member asked:

My brother had genital herpes, he got treated . his gf gives him oral and i accidentally used her tooth brush she left, could i catch oral herpes?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Should not use: Simplex virus needs body fluids to survive , possible to get infected from wet brush , you should not use other people brush to maintain simple hygiene . Oral and genital herpes simplex belong to different genotypes but can cross barriers.
