Herpes Question...PLEASE HELP?

My brother was just recently diagosed with Oral Herpes and Genital Herpes. The problem is that he lives with me and my brothers and sister as well as my parents. How do I go about living life. Is his oral and genital herpes contagious if he touches the refrigerator or stove or the remote control??? Nowadays I spend most of my mornings cleaning everything he touches, wheather it's the door nobles or anything that any of my family memebers will eventually touch. Do the question is: What can I do to make sure no one in my family gets infected but his oral and genital herpes??????????????PLEASE HELP.I PULL MY HAIR EVERY MORNING TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE IN MY FAMILY WILL BE HEALTHY AND ITS DESTROYED MY LIFE BECAUSE I SPEND MOST OF MY DAY WORRYING ABOUT THE WELL BEING OF MY FAMILY

Herpes is contagious but not through just touching the same things that he did or by just touching him.
Calm down with the cleaning a little chances are you are making him feel diseased for having herpes.
Genital herpes is usually transmitted by some ones genitals or mouth coming into skin contact with a person who has an out break genital herpes. The rest of the time there is not much to worry about.
Stop pulling your hair out. Unless some one in your family does some thing sexual with your son (I seriously doubt that would happen) then there would be no way for them to get genital herpes. It also doesn't like to live on surfaces of objects for more then seconds (that includes toilet seats), same thing goes for oral herpes (cold sores).
For oral herpes as long as your son doesn't share things like chap stick, utensils, cups or kisses any one while he has a cold sore then things should go fine for your family.
Just keep some wet wipes in the bath room if people are nervous they can use those to wipe the seat down.
I have oral and genital herpes myself and have not knowingly passed herpes onto any family members when I go to visit.

You will be alright. Just don't go having oral sex with your brother and no kissing either.

So that you and your family are safe from his herpes, no one should kiss him on the lips or perform oral sex on him.

As far as everything else, you are going overboard and the way to spell "wheather" in that sentence is whether and the way to spell "nobles" is knobs.
