Rest assure you couldn't have spread it that way. It is only spread/ contracted through unprotected sexual contact. Condoms help prevent very accuratley. Also, the less amount of outbreaks you have, the less contagious you are. Be sure to always use protection!

yes i really think that you can spread herpes from a pair of gym short.... even tho you didnt have n e sores, it can sstyll be spreaded. This had also happened to my friend with her boyfriend. he lent his shorts to his younger brother(18yrs) nd when he wore the shorts he started to itch and getting all of these weird things happening to him....well yea i think that it can be spreaded by gym shortz!
