Is it possible to get herpes from using the same toilet as an infected person?

Question

&& how about if you shared the same drink as them?

Answer 1

Herpes simplex virus 1 (cold sores) is very contagious and you get it from physical contact with the sores or fluids during out break. So if you come in contact with their saliva (i.e. kissing) you can get it and if you were to touch their sores somehow. So I imagine during times of actual outbreak which is its most contagious period, if you drink directly behind them on the same side of the glass where their saliva can actually touch your mouth, maybe but in the form of a cold sore. You wouldn't break out with genital herpes unless you transferred fluid from your own sores to your genitals in a way.

As far as the toilet is concerned, contraction of genital herpes is not something you'd get from them just putting their bare skin on the seat. Its still said that it is unlikely, but not impossible. If they urinate on the seat and such. But I imagine most people don't sit on public toilets, it takes all of a few seconds to squat and not expose yourself to such things. And in your own home or in a friends home, basic household disinfectants work during times of your friends breakouts.

Answer 3

In terms of sharing drinks? Depends on what type of herpes you're talking about. With Herpes Simplex for example, if the person doesn't have a break out on their lip, you most likely won't contract the virus. With Herpes B, you could get it since contact with saliva would be laden with the virus.

Using the toilet?? Germs don't live long. In public restrooms, where one person typically immediately uses a toilet after another, germs can be left over. Combine that with the fact that new germs are popping up these days, I wouldnt' recommend sitting on a toilet seat.

Answer 4

I got diagnosed with herpes (type 2) about 5 yrs ago, when I was still attending college and had a foolish one-night stand. I know loads of young women say this, but I swear I had never done that sort of thing before. I just made a huge mistake that one time and suddenly it seemed like I was going to have to live with the consequences for my entire life. The worst part was feeling I could never date men again. In the end, who wants to go out with someone that has sores round her "you know what" area? But since a friend shared this movie https://tr.im/kKCcE everything got better.

Not only was I able to clear away all traces of the herpes virus from my body in less than 21 days, but I was also able to start dating again. I even met the man of my dreams and I'm so fortunate to write that just a week ago, in front of everybody in a crowded restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me! This program provided the opportunity to be happy and experience real love again. Now I want to help others by sharing this story.
