massage table touched lips... herpes 1?
Hi all, I just wanted to know if it's possible to catch herpes 1 from a massage table. Yesterday I went for a massage and the nylon plastic face cushion was bare without a towel or cover and my lips were touching it. Now the next day where my lips touched it bottom corner, its burning.... is it possible to catch it from a surface?? my lips were a little chapped where they touched. I know that herpes symptoms take at least 3 or so days to start up but idk why im feeling this. I tested negative for herpes 1 and 2 at the right time after my last relevant exposure so I know prior to this I didn't have it nor have ever had symptoms of any out break. Thank you kindly!

No, the only way you get it is from direct, skin to skin contact - kissing, oral, vaginal and anal sex.
