      1. Can you get HSV if you hug someone who was sweating up a storm (after a concert)?

      2. If I meet a man who has oral herpes, should he never give me oral sex? Would it be smart if we refrained from it all together?

      3. Is it true antibacterial soap kills HSV?

      4. Can you get HSV from working out at the gym where other people sweat on the equipment?

      5. Can you get HSV from someone farting on you while they are but naked?

      6. Can you get HSV from sharing towels? How likely?

      7. Can you get HSV from getting your nails done at the nail salon?

      Also,

      I was playing with a 2 year old. There was a red cut or something on her lip (really don’t know). She has a pretend plastic lipstick that she uses. Then moments later put the pretend plastic lipstick on my lips. Transmission odds?

        Let me rephrase the question (wrote it in a moment of panic):

        I was playing with a 2 year old girl. She has something on the inside of her upper lip. Her mom said she fell and cut her lip. Unsure what it really is. But pretend it was a sore (because I really don’t know). She put the plastic toy lipstick on her lips. Then moments later put the plastic toy lipstick on my lips.

        Can you get HSV that way?

        Sorry if this question is dumb.

      1. Can you get HSV if you hug someone who was sweating up a storm (after a concert)?
      no

      2. If I meet a man who has oral herpes, should he never give me oral sex? Would it be smart if we refrained from it all together?
      There is some risk of acquiring HSV 1 genitally from someone who has oral infection, even if there are no symptoms present at the time.

      3. Is it true antibacterial soap kills HSV?
      Soap kills HSV because it destroys the lipid layer that surrounds the virus.

      4. Can you get HSV from working out at the gym where other people sweat on the equipment?
      no

      5. Can you get HSV from someone farting on you while they are but naked?
      no

      6. Can you get HSV from sharing towels? How likely?
      it’s possible but extremely unlikely

      7. Can you get HSV from getting your nails done at the nail salon
      no

      Your question about the child is also a no.

      One last question (for now)-

      1. If you make out with someone and there is no cold sore on their mouth at the time you makeout with them—-then 1-2 days later they develop a cold sore, can that pose as a transmission risk?

      2. So if both persons have oral HSV-1 & they perform oral sex on each other, can they transmit the hsv1 to genital still?

      3. How long does HSV-1 live on plastic toys, straws, glass cups, etc?

      4. If you make out with someone and wipe hand sanitizer on your lips, can it kill HSV infection?

      5. Do you recommend new love interests to do a western blot since IGg misses 30% of cases? Incase they have HSV-1 & they want to perform oral sex on you? Thoughts?

      Yes

      That would be extremely unlikely

      3. How long does HSV-1 live on plastic toys, straws, glass cups, etc?
      We don’t have an exact answer for that but a short time

      4. If you make out with someone and wipe hand sanitizer on your lips, can it kill HSV infection?
      Probably, but yuck!

      5. Do you recommend new love interests to do a western blot since IGg misses 30% of cases? Incase they have HSV-1 & they want to perform oral sex on you? Thoughts?
      Depends on how worried you are about getting herpes, I guess.

      I had a bad situation happen to me tonight. The guy I was hooking up with man for a while in the past. Tonight I had a weak moment because I missed him and saw him. He took advantage of me tonight. He shoved the tip of his penis inside me for a spilt second while pinning me down. He didn’t respect my boundaries.

      For the record, He doesn’t have a history of hsv2 and I’ve been tested many times prior for it and it’s always been negative. However, you don’t know.

      What are the chances of me getting something from this encounter?

      I am doing something about this situation by the way.

      I think there is close to zero chance that he infected you with anything with such a minimal encounter.

      Thank you for the quick reply.

      Lastly, He also spit on his finger multiple times while fingering me. Is that a transmission possibility? No cold sore present.

      I told him to not do anything with me except cuddle. But he was forcing himself on me. I feel stupid and upset.

      There is close to zero risk from fingering with saliva. No matter how you ask, my answer will not be zero

      What if he was asymptomatic shedding orally & he spit on his fingers and fingered me? Can it be transmitted to your genitals that way?

      Sorry I just thought of this question.

      Also…

      If someone has Genital HSV-1

      Will the IGG antibody test show up positive for HSV-1?

      How does that work?

      3. Does the western blot let you know if you have genital HSV-1???

      4. How much is the western blot test from you vs if my doctor ordered it??

      SORRY to add on to the set of questions above ^^

      Question 5:
      Can you get genital herpes from a toilet seat if the person is asymptomatic shedding from their Butt?

      I sat on a toilet seat that my friend used. I washed my butt afterwards with body wash, then proceeded to use Dawn dish soap, and then sprayed my butter with Lysol disinfectant bleach spray. I patted the area dry with a little water afterwards. Would that kill the virus?

      People do not shed virus without symptoms from their butt.
