Is Herpes 2 Communicable By Clothes?
I currently have herpes 2....and I have an outbreak. My 5 yr old son came home complaining of his penis itching & burning today, he has a little red circle where his penis meets his sack & then a rash right next to that. From what ive read it seems to be jock itch, but I am freaking out because I am so scared that I have exposed him to herpes by a towel or rag or something of that nature. Please tell me if that could be possible.
