People get herpes by having sex with someone who has the disease. “Having sex” means anal, vaginal, or oral sex. HSV-1 and HSV-2 can be found in and released from the sores that the viruses cause. The viruses can also be released from skin that does not appear to have a sore. Generally, a person can only get HSV-2 infection during sexual contact with someone who has a genital HSV-2 infection. Transmission can occur from an infected partner who does not have a visible sore and may not know that he or she is infected.
HSV-1 can cause sores in the genital area and infections of the mouth and lips, so-called “fever blisters.” HSV-1 infection of the genitals is caused by mouth to genital or genital to genital contact with a person who has HSV-1 infection.
Damn mate, you got a real boner for STI/V’s
Again problem is knowing you or your partner have it, herpes can lie dormant with no visible symptoms for a long time while still being contagious
actually thats not true. you can’t get it from a public toilet. it’s true you will get gential herpes from intercourse BUT the sore does not have to be an open sore. the infected person doesnt even have to be having an outbreak to pass herpes on.

Question
Genital herpes: Can you get it from a toilet seat?
Can you get genital herpes from a toilet seat?
Answer
from James M. Steckelberg, M.D.
It’s very unlikely that you would get genital herpes from a toilet seat. Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) spread by skin-to-skin contact. In most cases, the virus enters your body through mucous membranes — the type of skin found in your mouth, genitals or anus. The virus can also enter your body through skin that has tiny scrapes or tears.
People can have genital herpes for years without knowing it. The virus can be spread even if an infected person has no genital sores. Because the virus dies quickly outside of the body, it’s nearly impossible to get the infection through contact with toilets, towels or other objects used by an infected person.

Why is it always plural? How come nobody ever catches a single herpe?
COS THEY SLAGZ!
In my oppinion, The herpes can infect your genital because there are a small animal that issued the herpes virus, Usually this virus growt in the humid temperatures. So, herpes is not caused from sexual activity.
That just sound like someone trying to deny having been unfaitful and gotten herpes :crazy:

halo, selemat sore 🙂 (and unfortunately that is about the limit of my Bahasa Indonesia).
Although such religious folk as nuns, priests, imams and the like might be good teachers for maths, English etc (I went to a religious school once in the UK) and learned recently that some of the old style missionaries from the days of Batavia are still around in ID they are not such good teachers to get your sex education from. There is plenty of herpes in Europe and it is cold here. There are kinds which can be caught without sexual activity but they have a slighty different name. Similar to how “tikus” in ID/MY can be a mouse or a rat, but biologically these animals are two separate groups of species.
And if you have been unfortunate to get this disease and are ashamed, it is even worse an idea to write about it on a website that can be viewed halfway around the world.
TBH as PT telecom hasn’t blocked this site from your device, you would be better off trying to see if it can tune into our radio streams 😉
