Can you get herpes from using the toilet after someone who has herpes?

HIV is a retro virus that has a very short lifespan especially when exposed to air.
For someone to acquire HIV from a toilet seat there would have to be some extremely FRESH biological matter present (semen) and the person who sits on this deposit of matter would have to have an open wound that makes direct contact with the semen.
I say semen because the concentration of the HIV disease in other bio waste is not high enough to be viable.
To sum it up......it is close to impossible to get AIDS (HIV) from a toilet seat.
Supporting answer from WikiAnswers contributor:
- The HIV virus is actually a quite delicate, easily killed virus. It does not survive outside of its human carriers for more than short periods. Specifically, drying kills it. When different solutions were tested to determine what should be recommended as the universal cleanser for body fluid secretions, every solution tested(alcohol, hydrogen peroxide, iodine, betadine, Bactine,etc) were effective. Bleach was chosen since it is so cheap, ubiquitous, and safe. Unless someone just left some wet body fluid, and you had a transfer to a mucous membrane or open wound, it would be possible. It really would take quite a large innoculum (viral load) before there would be a statistically possible transfer. Health care workers have these minor exposures all the time. If it were this deadly, we all would have been gone a long time ago.

∙ 10y agoNO. It's very rare to get herpes from a toilet seat. Herpes doesn't last for more then a few seconds when it's out side of the body. Also when you think about it your genitals don't even touch the seat.

∙ 13y agoNo. You can only get genital herpes from sexual intercourse if the person you perform intercourse with also has genital herpes. I can't remember if it can be passed down through families.

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.
