While it is suggested not to share intimate objects, there has never been any evidence that herpes can be spread by object. Even in the event that partners share sex toys, they have been no documented cases of exposure. So no, it is not likely to catch it from a tub, a toilet, or from towels.

You can catch it by having oral sex, anal sex, dry humping, or by touching infected genitals or oral sores then touching your own. You can get it from you parents or from washing in a tub after someone had an outbrake! possibly from a toilet seat. u can get it from just rubbing on someone...if there is contact you can get it By having sexual contact..even when protected, i.e. condom, there is still that possiblity especially if they are currently having an outbreak. Also, if you know of someone that has herpes, don't use towels, clothes that they have used without first washing with bleach. well i know for sure it not passed by a toilet seat for the simple fact my whole family and majory of my friend would have it and it the same for the bath tub.now how a person can catch it is they have had to come in contact with someone who has got it and either had oral sex or has had skin to skin contact as meaning dry humping with some who has it You can't Genital Herpes is a sexually transmitted disease that means only through sex! Some people who "parade" around trying to convince people that the disease is from SEX only are often using that as a means to SCARE TACTIC kids or anyone from having sexual relations... Some of these things that they call STD's can come from SEX RELATIONS however some can come from BLOOD transfer and we all know SALIVA contains blood... and in some cases certain things coudl RUB onto BED SHEETS and if you share a bed with someone infected it could infect you(if it is that type of transmittable disease)
