How can you get herpes herpes?

There are various kinds of herpes you can get but the most common ones are hsv-1 oral herpes and hsv-2 genital herpes. This virus is transferred by skin to skin touching. Which means that if you have sex with someone who has genital herpes there is a high chance that the condom won't protect you from the virus. Since the condom does not cover the pubic area where more then likely where the virus will be at. The same goes for hsv 1, if you kiss someone who has it then you might just get it.

Can genitat herpies be passed on from using the same toilet seat?

Genital herpes is primarily transmitted through direct skin-to-skin contact with an infected person, typically during sexual activity. While the virus can survive for a short time on surfaces, the likelihood of contracting genital herpes from a toilet seat is extremely low. The virus is not easily spread through inanimate objects, as it requires close contact with an infected area. Therefore, using the same toilet seat as someone with genital herpes poses minimal risk.


If you have herpes or have had the chickenpox does that mean that you are CMV positive?

No, cytomegalovirus is a separate virus from Varicella Zoster virus (the one that causes chickenpox) and herpes simplex virus (which causes genital herpes and cold sores and related illnesses). It is possible to have all three at the same time, but they are separate viruses and if you have herpes or have had the chickenpox, it does not mean that you are CMV positive.

You went down on a girl and you have a cold sore but it hasn't broke and it is not like other cold sores which just come up split scab then disappear this is just been a little lump. did i give her?

First off, most cold sores are caused by a Herpes Simplex virus, this is not the same as the virus that causes genital herpes. So, no, you may have given her the Herpes simplex, but it is not the same as what you are worried about. In fact, most of the population is now born with a herpes simplex, it is basically unavoidable.

Is MRSA a virus?

MRSA is still very rare and will not be in the air. Some studies do talk of the 'MRSA' cloud that can be around an MRSA sufferer, who is ill enough that they do not move very much. An MRSA carrier who may not be ill from the bacteria but has symptoms of respitory infection that lead them to sneeze and cough can project the the MRSA bacteria all around them.
