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.
