A woman from Zhejiang, China, recently shared on Douyin, which is China’s in-country version of TikTok, that she believes she contracted oral herpes after a karaoke session in 2017. She suspects the infection came from holding the microphone too close to her mouth. Shortly after the outing, she developed painful blisters around her lips, which have recurred over the years. She now lives with the virus, which has no cure but can be managed with medication. Experts haven’t confirmed that she could have caught herpes that way, but it brings up the question: would you believe that’s how your significant other caught herpes?
