Is it possible to get a genital herpes to somebody not through sex but by just using someones panty?
The chance is very small. Once herpes hits air the virus will die almost instantly. Herpes isn't likely to rub on the surface of a towel, toilet, clothing or other items. If the herpes virus happened to rub on the surface of an item the virus would die before a person came in contact with the virus. Some studies report herpes could spread by sharing a drink but the chance is almost non existent. You can get genital herpes through genital-genital contact or genital-oral contact with someone who has herpes infection. The virus is most easily spread through contact with open sores. But you also can get the virus from skin that does not appear to have a sore. You can become infected with the herpes virus without having intercourse.

Can you get herpes thru someone towel?
It is possible, but not likely. The infected person would wipe the infected area with the washcloth, and the uninfected person would need to almost immediately wipe it on themselves to catch the virus.Herpes is a sexually transmitted Disease, i believe it only travels in sexual fluids, if anything got on the wash cloth, the vector inside the fluid would probably be long dead. Dont take my word for it, ask a doctor, just my educated guess.You would have to use the wash cloth with in seconds of some one with herpes using it in order to have any chance of that happening.Herpes doesn't survive for more then a few seconds in open air or on objects.Possible but not likely.You would have to use the wash cloth with in seconds of some one with a break out of herpes using it. Herpes doesn't like to live out side of the body for more then a few seconds.The herpes virus is very fragile and dies quickly outside of the human body.But the virus will live for a while in moist environments.It is a good idea not to share wash cloths.Yes ma'am, absolutly. Why would you even do that. wash the cloth, come on now!
