Contrary to popular speculation, herpes simplex cannot be transmitted by towels, cups or very many other things. Unless it is skin-to-skin or sexual contact, it is not possible to transmit the disease in other ways. It does seem likely that it would be possible via sharing cups because of saliva, although it is not. The herpes simplex virus is vulnerable on any surface other than skin and needs to have contact with skin to stay alive. Once it leaves the skin it dies instantly. Therefore, bathtubs, toilet seats and other surfaces cannot carry the disease but still can have other types of bacteria, but not related to herpes.
I'll go with a medical centers website as opposed to hellolife's website.

That's HSV-1, LOL!
90% of Americans over 50 have been exposed. YOU probably have it. I probably have it.
The OP may not have it and that's what he wants to prevent. You know...the point of the post.
