Herpes is caused by the herpes simplex virus. There are 8 different herpes simplex viruses, the most common are herpes simplex virus 1 and 2.
Herpes simplex virus 1 is usually responsible for cold sores, but can also cause genital herpes.
Herpes simplex virus 2 is usually responsible for genital herpes, but can also cause cold sores.
Herpes can NOT be spread by using a toilet seat after someone, using a shower or tub after them, using a chair after them, a pool, jacuzzi, etc.
Herpes is almost always spread by sex (vaginal, oral, and anal) or by DIRECT skin to skin contact with an infected area.
I have had herpes for over 6 years now. I lived with my parents and brothers most of those 6 years (I contracted the virus when I was 17). NONE of my family members ever got genital herpes from me by using something after me like the toilet or shower. I've also had several other family members and boyfriends (now ex's) use the bathroom after me and NONE of them ever contracted the virus. It's just not spread that way.
Take care!

There are two types of herpes simplex virus: HSV-1 and HSV-2. Both virus types can cause sores around the mouth (herpes labialis) and on the genitals (genital herpes). Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV).
Cold sores sometimes called fever blisters, are groups of small blisters on the lip and around the mouth. The skin around the blisters is often red, swollen, and sore. The blisters may break open, leak a clear fluid, and then scab over after a few days. They usually heal in several days to 2 weeks.
The herpes simplex virus usually enters the body through a break in the skin around or inside the mouth. It is usually spread when a person touches a cold sore or touches infected fluid?such as from sharing eating utensils or razors, kissing an infected person, or touching that person's saliva. A parent who has a cold sore often spreads the infection to his or her child in this way. Cold sores can also be spread to other areas of the body.

I had herpes type 2 approximately 6 years back, when I was still in college and had a stupid one night affair. I am sure many of girls will say this but I swear I never did that sort of thing. I just made a mistake that one time and, suddenly, it seemed like I was going to have to live with the burden for the rest of my life. The worst part was thinking I could never meet men again. After all, who wants to date a girl who has sores around her you-know-what? But after someone shared this video https://tr.im/HerpesZosterCure3R everything has changed. Not only was I able to remove all traces of the herpes virus from my system in less than 2 weeks, but I was also able to start dating again. I even met my soulmate and I'm so happy to write that just last week, in fornt of many people in a restaurant, he got down on one knee and proposed to me!! This program offered me the chance to be happy again, and to experience true love.

Without playing games, don’t be available 100% of the time or let your life be an open book. A man that comes on too strong or doesn’t have outside interests will scare a woman away just as much as it would if the circumstances were reversed. Read here https://tr.im/ErxMf
Women don’t want to feel as though they are completely responsible for your happiness and that is what it feels like when the other person has no outside interests. Men who are overeager or jump when the woman says jump are the ones who are more likely to end up in the friend zone. This doesn’t mean that you should play the game of not calling for a few days; it means that you should set healthy boundaries until you both naturally find a spot for the other in your lives.
