What are the possibility of spreading herpes to my family?

i just found out i have herpes.

im living with my family and i love them very much. My mum does the laundry. What are the chances that it'll spread to my family ? :(

I dont care if i cant have sex for the rest of my life but i just dont want it to spread to or hurt my family. Im so stressed out by this right now.

You are not going to spread it to your family. It's an std for a reason.

im sorry i dont even know whats what after reading so much on the internet, im just so worried for my family because my mum does the laundry and im afraid it might somehow get to her through that. Im asexual, so i dont care if i dont get a relationship the rest of my life i just care about my family. Thank you for the clarification.
