Will I get HPV From a Wet towel?
I want to ask, I was changing in a locker room at my gym. A friend of mine hit me in the face with a moist towel he found on the floor. He hit me with the corner of the towel. None of my friends in the locker knew who had used the towel, and they had been there for about 5-6 minutes. Im a germaphobe, and I am worried, could I get herpes from this? The towel was cold, but moist. I washed it off my face but the run off water touched my lips. As this is a mucous membrane, would I get oral herpes? Im so scared. Please help me.

The virus is very fragile and would not live on the surface of the towel like that. Its hard enough to contract it by direct contact any way.
