Can you get herpes from a toilet seat?
Because the virus dies quickly outside of the body, it's nearly impossible to get the infection through contact with toilets or though a handshake.

You can't get herpes from a clean, dry toilet seat. If the seat isn't clean and you have a skin opening, it's remotely possible.

No, you can't get herpes from a toilet seat. The virus doesn't live outside the body and it needs direct contact to spread.

The microorganisms that cause genital herpes can't survive outside the human body on a surface like a toilet seat for very long.

About Herpes
Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted disease (STD) caused by the herpes simplex viruses type 1, or most commonly, type 2. Most people show no, or minimal symptoms from HSV-1 or HSV-2 infection. When the symptoms do appear, it’s usually as blisters on or around the genitals and rectum. The blisters soon break, leaving sores that can take up to a month to heal the first time the occur. More outbreaks can occur months after the first, but are usually shorter and less severe. It is still possible to spread herpes between outbreaks. For this reason, it is imperative that persons infected with herpes always take precautions like wearing a condom to prevent the spread of the disease.
