Not for more then a few seconds. Herpes isn't an air born virus. It's passed through skin contact like kissing some one while they have a cold sore or having intercourse with some one that has genital herpes.

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!
