Just Found out I have HSV-1

I just found out that I have HSV-1 through some tests that I recently got done. I don't know what too do... I have heard lots of different things about it but I don't know what to believe or trust in regards to this disease. My doc. was not helpful at all, therefore, I dropped him.... I want to know if I can transmit this to another person by something other than sex/oral sex. I have it on my penis so if I were to use the restroom at home, would anyone in my family get by using the same bathroom that I use? Can they come in contact with it?  I don't have any outbreaks in or around my mouth, jst on my penis. And I get outbreaks once in a blue moon.
Is this a dangerous disease? Will it get worse?
