Can herpes spread in my bubble bath?

[thisisgoingtobeokay (previ]

Since being diagnosed a month ago with genital hsv1 I have been terrified to take a bubble bath. I can't like get herpes in my eyes by dipping my head under water to wash my hair out right? I'm not breaking out currently, but have been confused on whether the virus is floating in my bath water (say I am shedding with no symptoms) and if I wash my hair in the same water and get my face wet if I can spread it to my eyes if it's in the water. Or any other body part for that matter. I desperately want to take a bubble bath tonight as it's been a long day. Keep in mind I am in just my first month of building antibodies. Thanks y'all! :) blessings!

Nope, you're good! Bathe yourself! Enjoy it! Relax in those awesome bubbles. The only way to spread herpes is skin-to-skin contact. And on top of that, the second it hits soap, the virus dies on contact.

Thank heavens! Hitting up bubble bath time! I am so excited! I've needed this for the past whole month and was too scared to dip my face under so I just didn't give myself quality bubble bath time. The internet could not answer this for me over the last month so I am so glad to have an answer now! Thank you!!! Yippee! Getting my rubber ducky!
