can you catch type 2 herpes (genital) from a toilet seat or shower when living with someone who has it?
No, you can't. It is passed through skin to skin contact. Think what area of you makes contact with a toilet seat - it is your thighs and rear end, not the more delicate tissue.
Also, herpes only survives for a few seonds to a couple of minutes outside the body. It is an extremely fragile virus.
All I would say is don't share anything you are going to rub your vagina with straight after someone else has used it for that purpose - but unless you are sharing sex toys, I can't see that happening, can you?
Remember herpes is not as infectious as people think it is. It has evolved to be spread in a specific way - through the skin to skin contact of kissing or genital intercourse, and not by other means.
Herpes is also only infectious for a fraction of the time - about 10%.
My parents had the same worry about me at first, but now they are fine. There has never been a documented case of such transmission of genital herpes.
And to the other answerer, herpes does not live in urine!! It is not passed in bodily fluids either. It is just present for a small period of time on the skin, and is transferred from their to someone else's skin.
