Best Answer

yes
You probably will not catch herpes from wearing the outer clothes of a person with herpes. Do not wear the under pants of a person with herpes.
Usually, no. You cannot. Herpes cannot live without a host for a long period of time. It depends on the type of herpes and what clothing item it is. If you were to wear the underwear of someone who is having an outbreak, you could be at risk. If you put on someone's scarf that isn't having an outbreak, your chances are nearly zero for contracting herpes.
