Herpes is spread through skin contact during intercourse and or (rarely but possible) through oral sex. Men with herpes can spread it to their partner if they have intercourse around the time a break out occurs, it's not as likely to happen but herpes can also be passed when there are no symptoms. Also some people with herpes never have signs or symptoms, if they don't know that they have it they can spread it unknowingly.

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.

What does it mean when your goldfish has red scales?

It means your goldfish has a type of disease called herpes, and no, not the type you're thinking of. This is a type of herpes known only to goldfish. They get it when they have sex with a rock in their fish bowl. You should get your goldfish checked for herpes right away. You don't have to go to a vet though, just suck on it's fins and it should be fine. If it tastes like salt, then they're fine. But if it tastes like vinegar, your goldfish has herpes. Hope this information helped.
