An STD Help Community

Okay... we lived with a girl who just found out she has herpes we shared towels with her... she took baths with her kids as did we ... we shared drinks .. she sat on the furnature naked .. as did we... so.. could we have caught herpes from her without auctually having intercourse with her??

Ironically most study's say no but they also recommend not sharing towels. Funny huh? But really the chances are very slim if not nonexistent. Do you have symptoms or any other reason to be worried? If not I wouldn't worry too much about it but you can always get tested for piece of mind plus it's not really a bad idea anyway if your sexually active.
