Can you get herpes if you live with someone that has Genital herpes and Oral herpes? Some examples are if you drink or eat after them, or even use the bathroom after them?
Answer:
Herpes, whether genital or oral, is not passed by casual contact. You can not get it from sharing a glass, touching the same object or by using the same toilet seat. The herpes virus is contained in the sores. The virus is spread when a sore comes into contact with another person's mucous membranes--genitals, mouth/lips or eyes.
And, if you are referring to oral herpes, cold sores, you are not at risk unless you kiss him/her.
Did you also know that there is not test for herpes unless you have sores and then those sores are cultured? Hence, people can have herpes and not know it unless they have ever had any sores because the virus can be present but may never produce sores. Lastly, what if you were a health care provider? For instance, I am a health care provider at a family planning clinic and many of my patients have herpes--if herpes was transmitted through casual contact as you are concerned than any one in health care would have it, then we would all have it..and we don't because it is sexually transmitted. I believe that when people are fully educated about sexual health we will begin to stop stigmatizing people with STD's.
