can you catch genital herpies from using the same bar soap in the shower?

I would say no. Because soap would kill it. That is the first thing you should do if you ever come into contact with someone's else bodily fluid. But sharing bar soap is  nasty never the less.

Yes you can. You can get an Std from a hj if the girls has one and she touches her vagina then touches your penis. Also, even if you cover your peeter during a bj you can get herpes and other STDs especially if there is a hole in the condom. I am glad that you are taking the proper precautions. Although these are all possibilities it is rare.

If soap helped we would all know about it.  Hopefully you were using protection.  If not you need to get tested and quick!! There is the chance that you did not get infected but there is also the chance that you did.  Please go and find out for sure.

Technically yes. Realistically no. However, if you rub your butt and genitals around in someone else's fresh body excretions, you can get a disease. Usually, the bacteria/viruses in blood and excretions die off fairly fast once exposed to air, especially if the stuff is already crusty. You skin is an intact barrier and gives sufficient protection from unsanitary places. You would have to get direct contact with the genital region in order for this to happen, and the excretions would have to be fairly fresh.\n\nActually, studies have shown that one of the most unsanitary places in a bathroom is the bathroom door handle (next to the flush button, of course). It's full of bacteria found in urine and feces, and while it's not easy to get an infection from that, it's still gross. That's what you want to avoid touching after you washed your hands.

Assuming your daughter is an infant...  I'd visit the doc.  My first guess would be a yeast infection (yes, babies get 'em too).  Washing with soaps will probably just make it worse (just like douches and stuff CAUSE yeast infections in women, deodorants and soaps can cause probs in babies too).  The doc can give you a cream to use to make it better.  Frequent diaper changes and keeping clean (with water or baby wipes) is the best way to keep it at bay... but some babies just seem to get a lot of them anyways.  They generally stop once they're out of diapers.

You can't catch herpes from NON physical contact. But seeing as you have little ones, and are concerned for your own well being, i'd take extra precaution while your friend is staying with you. If possible, you could talk to them and explain your concerns, but good on you for not excluding her or not welcoming her into your home.

No you will not get genital herpes just by laying next to someone with the virus. To get genital herpes you have to have direct skin to skin contact or have sex with them. So unless you are rubbing your genital areas together, or having sex with that person you ARE NOT going to get it. \n\nAnd your doctor is right for the most part. Usually doctors diagnose genital herpes by a physical exam, and also a pap smear for women. There is a blood test that they can do, but they have be shown to be really inaccurate, giving negative results, when you do in fact have the virus. The first or primary outbreak usually occurs 2-14 days after being infected. So unless you have had an outbreak, chances are you probably don't have the virus.\n\nThere is nothing you can really do to help your friend, just be there for him. It's not a deadly STD, and it is totally treatable with medication. \n\nThe sores caused by genital herpes are extremely painful on your first outbreak. They sort of looks like cysts or blisters rather than small pimples. You can "pop" them, but that is REALLY bad to do. If you pop them, the puss and fluid from them can get on the skin around it and cause more sores to appear! The best thing a person can do when they are having an outbreak is to leave them alone! Take the medicine the doctor prescribes you and don't touch your sores! They will heal better the less you touch them and irritate them. And ALWAYS wash your hands after you have touched them. \n\nYou can't tell if someone has genital herpes just by looking at them, or their genital area. Even if they show no signs of the virus, like sores, they can still be "shedding" the virus, which means they can pass it to you. Always wear a condom, or if you are a girl, insist the guy does. Even though condoms are not 100%, they are the safest thing you can do to protect yourself from STDS, other than abstinence.

OF COURSE!\n     Would You Take a Bath/Shower Without using soap?

Yes you can.  Herpes is caused by a virus.  The virus is present whether the person is showing symptoms or not.

That could be caused by so many different things, yeast infection, other infection like vaginitis, herpes, other STD, or even just an irritation from the soap you are using.  I'm going to venture a guess here that you are under 18, I know it's hard, but tell your parents about it, you should go see an o.b.gyn. doctor for help.  Don't continue to live with that discomfort because you are embarrased.

Ask lots of questions or have the client fill out a health history.  You have the right to refuse service to someone if they have a disease that can be transmitted.  Also, wash, wash, wash your hands before and after a massage, and use disinfected wash or whatever that stuff is called.  I use it every day and I can't even think of the name.  You know that stuff that is like water and dissolves the dirt and germs off.  It's like soap but you don't need water... geez... I'm sure you know what I'm talking about though.

well i am going to answer you seriously. No u can not get herpes from kissing your tiolet seat that i know of anyway. Herpes is a virus that has to have a moist place to live so i would think it would be impossible. The other answer(should u break up) i say if u are in love with your toilet seat then i guess u prove to all of us that we can love almost anything. If its a match made in heaven i say stay together until you find a shrink LOL.

Not really, unless the Herpes is active it is not contagious.  If all you have is warts and they are not spreading then you should be ok.  If the person you were having sex with has the warts there are several ways to get rid of them.  One way is to go to a physician and they will use TCA (trichloroacetic acid) to burn them off or they can give you a prescription to use at home (Aldara).

All the answers until now have mentioned the soap, shower gel, shampoo, but no one mentioned the water.\n\nhave a look to the shower head as the lime scale accumulates in it and can provoke itchiness.\n\nand the worst case scenario you also can get legionaries disease "small microbes that bread on your shower Head".

It's possible if her hands aren't clean.  She could easily carry herpes on her hand.  I'm sure she washed them though in the sink on the street corner using the anti-bacterial/anti-virual lotion before you picked her up.
