My current college roomate has genital herpes, and is taking 500mg of Valtrex daily. Is it possible for me to catch genital herpes from her without sexual contact?
No. Genital herpes is skin to skin contact. You are fine.
it is very rare for you to contract genital herpes from your roommate. The only possible way is for her to sit on the toiled off-center and her sores would touch the seat and you immediately sit down in the exact spot which is very unlikely to happen! I actually got this from a Dr which said it would have to be within split seconds that you would sit on the toiled seat after her. It is so rare, that you should not be worried about contracting the genital herpes unless you have somekind of skin to skin or sexual contact with your roommate!
***Thanks**** Maybe I cleared up an issue!
Ignore “Dont Sass Me” who has no clue
Herpes are ONLY spread by direct skin to skin contact with an infected person. No ifs, no buts.
No herpes is an STD and you can’t get it without sexual contact.
nope you cant get it its only from skin to skin contact just dont get drunk and mess around with her girl than you ll be ok….jk about the last part…good luck to your roomie
Na you should be fine. Just don’t use the same towels as she does. There is a possibility you can pick it up from towels like if she has an outbreak & she dries off.
