A member asked:

Can you get herpes from your penis touching the inside of a toilet or seat? (i had small open tears at top of foreskin from skin being dry?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Herpes is essentially transmitted from skin to skin contact rather than from other objects. Getting a herpes infection from a toilet seat is considered highly unlikely even though the virus can survive on objects for hours but starts to degrade quickly outside the body. I don't think it would be something to worry about.
