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.

Homeopathy has a specific theory of sexually transmitted diseases, and refers to genital herpes by the name 'figwarts', because they are shaped like figs.

One of the main homeopathic medicines for genital herpes is Thuja, available in any natural foods store. Claims notwithstanding, there is no hard scientific evidence that homeopathy has ever cured ANYTHING, let along genital herpes which has no known cure. (I'm not saying that homeopathy is, necessarily, worthless, just that there's no proof that it isn't.)
