      Hello i have concern about somethings

      1-im sorry if this gonna sound gross , i was at work and we have one bathroom there all my co workers go there boys/girls , so one day i had to masturbate so i went to the bathroom after i finished i couldnt find paper to clean my genitals so i used some paper from the trash,
      so can i get hsv2 this way or if i touch objects then i touch genitals

      2-if someone put his finger/hand in his mouth then i shaked his hand while having cuts
      can i get hsv1 this way

      3-If someone puts their hand on my skin after that I put my mouth in the same place can I get hsv1 that way

      4-can a hand sanitizer kill hsv , some websites say it can and some say there is no reports say it kills it
      i have 70% alchol hand sanitizer

      I think it is highly unlikely that you would get herpes in this way, no

      2-if someone put his finger/hand in his mouth then i shaked his hand while having cuts
      can i get hsv1 this way
      No

      3-If someone puts their hand on my skin after that I put my mouth in the same place can I get hsv1 that way
      No

      it can, yes

        in the first question you mean there is a chance ?
        lets say i touched an object then my genitals but my genitals did not touch the object it self, because i was reading that “you cant get hsv2 from objects, its only skin-to-skin which is by having sex”

        is there any chance of getting hsv2 in this scenario

        and i think when you said highly unlikely to get it you mean there is very small chance
        so lets say this very small chance worked how can i know if i have it ?

      I never say never because weird things happen in this world. But I would say there is a one in a million chance that you would get herpes in this way – maybe even less than that. All of a series of things would had to have happened for you to get herpes in this way – like first, a person with an active lesion would have needed to come into the bathroom right before you, like minutes before, and wiped those lesions with the paper and then on that exact spot on the paper, you wiped your genitals. That is such a bizarre and unlikely scenario, I think it should be dismissed by any reasonable person. Would you agree?

        You are right that was a stupid thing to do, but in the first question i asked it in worst case scenario , let me tell you what happend one more time and then you judge

        I didn’t really wiped my genitals with it , i was holding the TIP of the paper then i said hell no and put it back to the trash

        1-so my main question is if i touched a dirty paper , towel , etc
        and then i touch my genitals could i get hsv 2

        2-and lets say i entered the bathroom after 1 hour of someone , and how long does the virus live outside the body, like there is a website say 10 sec and other say from HOURS to 8 WEEKS like WHAT! , even covid-19 cant live that long
        so what do you think is the risk still exists even after one hour

        i never got a cold sore but i want to know if i have hsv 1 / 2 im also a virgin

        so i have been thinking about lowering my immune system or make it weak to see if i get cold sores is a good idea ? , because i cant get blood test

        so i was reading about 20 habit that lower your immune system and im going to do every single one of them

      No, glad you clarified what happened

      2-and lets say i entered the bathroom after 1 hour of someone , and how long does the virus live outside the body, like there is a website say 10 sec and other say from HOURS to 8 WEEKS like WHAT! , even covid-19 cant live that long
      so what do you think is the risk still exists even after one hour
      I do not.
      It is definitely not a good idea to try to lower your immune system to see if you get a cold sore. That’s just not a good idea at all.
      You seem very focused on very low risk events to know if you can get herpes. It’s simply not that easy.

        Thanks Terri for your help
        I dont know if i can ask another question because my sub didnt close , if i need to pay another set please tell me

        you said “you cant get hsv 2 by touching something and then your genitals”.
        ok lets say if i was in public bathroom then my genitals touched the toilet seat
        could this give me hsv 2.

        i know this question look similar to others but just to make sure.
        Thank you

      No, you would not get herpes in this way.

      Hello Terri , if i need to pay a new set please tell me
      Thanks for the answer but im a little confused now , in first Scenario you said there is one in million chance to get hsv 2 , but you said “NO” when i asked about the toilet seat

      1-is there any risk of getting hsv 2 from entering the bathroom after someone who has hsv 2 outbreak and his genitals touched the same spot where mine touched

      2-after doing some research alot of resources said that you cant get hsv 2 from toilet seat or any other objects because hsv 2 live only for 10 sec on surfaces , is it true ?

      3-how much time does the hsv 2 stay available which means is it safe to enter the bathroom after 10 minutes after someone who has hsv 2 , and my genitals some how touched the virus

      4-i got covid-19 once(i only lost my taste nothing serious),but one time i got very sick(high temperature, vomiting, Diarrhea, blury vision, etc)and i couldnt move from bed but did not get any cold sores is that a prove that i dont have herpes

      5-when i think about herpes , i start getting the symptoms like i once read that you start to feel tingle on lips , so my lips started to tinge over a month but no cold sores ,is that normal ?

      no

      Then I guess you will have to decide which resources your trust, won’t you?

      3-how much time does the hsv 2 stay available which means is it safe to enter the bathroom after 10 minutes after someone who has hsv 2 , and my genitals some how touched the virus
      It isn’t how long, it’s about how much is viable virus and where it touches you and for long it touches you and how long the virus has been on that surface. You are asking for tiny details that we don’t have accurate answers about and also, how likely is it that your genitals, using a public bathroom, would touch areas where someone else’s genitals have touched with virus on them, in the exact same spot, immediately before you. This is an obsessive question at this point. The risk isn’t real.

      4-i got covid-19 once(i only lost my taste nothing serious),but one time i got very sick(high temperature, vomiting, Diarrhea, blury vision, etc)and i couldnt move from bed but did not get any cold sores is that a prove that i dont have herpes
      No

      5-when i think about herpes , i start getting the symptoms like i once read that you start to feel tingle on lips , so my lips started to tinge over a month but no cold sores ,is that normal ?
      When someone is highly highly focused on the risk of getting herpes, as you are, it is normal to notice every single little body sensation that is normal and wonder if it could be herpes.

      I’m going to close this thread now. You are out of questions and I am out of answers for you.
