Can you get herpes from tables?

Herpes Simplex Virus type 1 (HSV-1), which causes oral herpes, and Herpes Simplex Virus type 2 (HSV-2), which causes genital herpes, are not spread through casual contact with objects such as tables. These viruses are primarily transmitted through direct contact with infected individuals, typically through kissing or sexual contact.

Oral herpes can spread through sharing of personal items like toothbrushes, razors, or lip balms that may have come in contact with infected saliva. Genital herpes is mainly transmitted through sexual activities.

It is important to practice safe sex and maintain good hygiene to prevent the spread of herpes and other sexually transmitted infections.
