Can my Three Year old toddler contract genital Herpes from a bathtub or toilet seat?

No The Disease Cant Live In The Air Very Long. Do Some Research And You Will Find That You Cant Catch It That Way. IT CANT SURVIVE THE OXYGEN

you can get it off a towel though right after someone with an outbreak. i think i've read that a hot, hot tub is possible

kissing each other and getting fever blisters is not a sexually transmitted disease. it's the same family of virus . you can get this on your hands also. some doctors have gotten this from patients.it is passed through the mucus membranes and if there is a break in the skin, then it can be passed to the cut finger etc.

Kilgore,
That is interesting that you said that about hot tubs. Cuz at first that is what I thought how I contracted herpes. We were on vacation and me and kids used the hot tub one night but I was the only one who sat in the tub. If I remember correctly the day after or maybe even the second day I was not feeling too good down there but I at first I thought it was a yeast infection on the way home on the airplane I was in extreme pain and found it to be very very odd. Anyhow, I'd like to know where you read that or heard about that.
