Are toilet seats a hot zone to contract herpes type 2?

I have a cousin who has Hepes type 2. I have used her toilet on numerous occasions not thinking anything of it and then appeares a blister. I have only had sex with one person and he went to get checked out by three doctors who told him he was okay and he swears up and down that he has never had sex with anyone else.Could she had possibly shed her skin cells on the toilet and then I picked them up on my skin by sitting on her toilet?

It is possible but not likley . Im guessing it is genital herpes? you can get genital herpes from wearing someone elses pants . but herpes its not likely . it can happen . but that blister you haev dosent have to mean you have anything it can just be a blister . If you havent already go get checked , if you dont have insurance then go to a planned parent hood or a clinic , both do tests for free . and parents dont have to know anything . everything is confidental . Also i dont want to say this but that guy might be lying to you , dont underestimate guys , ask to see his papper work because you do get it if you ask for it when you come up negative or positive . GO wth him and if he gets upset that you asked then he is wrong for you . i hope this helps .

There have been no proven cases of genital herpes transmission from a toilet seat.
