Hsv question.
Hello, today my son informed me he peed in a cup that belonged to my brother but I know my brother has a history of hsv1 and hsv2 does this mean my son can catch genital herpes after peeing in his cup that was infected by his Saliva? I am very worried that that is possible and I don’t know what to do. My son is only 4 years old. Doesn’t know any better.

Yes, infected secretions of a person can spread hsv virus.Just keep a watch for any new rash with burning sensation around the genitals.
